Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; it's okay if there are lumps.

Cooking

Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Serving

Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. If your pancakes are too thick, add a little more milk. Make sure the griddle is hot enough before pouring the batter. For extra flavor, try adding cinnamon or nutmeg.
