Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
  2. Add the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—small lumps are okay.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  4. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove from the skillet and serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter—lumps will ensure light, fluffy pancakes.
  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.
  • Freeze pancakes by stacking them with parchment paper in between, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
