Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until smooth; some lumps are acceptable. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Heat and Grease Pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake, gently spreading it into a round shape. Cook until bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set, then carefully flip it. Cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for a delicious start to your day.
Notes
- The batter can have some lumps; do not overmix to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Adjust the milk quantity slightly to get the batter consistency you prefer.
- Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the outside while keeping the inside cooked.
- For fluffier pancakes, do not flatten the batter once poured onto the pan.
- Fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips can be added to the batter for variations.
