Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents for a perfect rise.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and combine it with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to add richness and flavor to your batter.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently stir until just combined; some lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to ensure golden brown pancakes without burning.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden.
- Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use fresh baking powder to ensure pancakes rise properly.
- Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken and improve fluffiness.
- Cook on medium heat for even cooking without burning.
- Use just enough butter to lightly grease the pan and prevent sticking.
