Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Fresh berries, syrup, or whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Lumps are okay.
4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to activate the baking powder and hydrate the flour.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
7. Cook until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
8. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven or covered until ready to serve.
9. Serve with fresh berries, maple syrup, or desired toppings.
10. Enjoy your fluffy, delicious pancakes!
Notes
Do not overmix the batter—lumps help keep pancakes fluffy.
Let the batter rest before cooking for a lighter texture.
Use a medium heat and flip only once for best results.
