Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly mixed to distribute the leavening agent well.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to form a smooth wet mixture.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold them together with a spatula just until combined; some lumps are fine to prevent tough pancakes.
  4. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil for even browning and to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings or sides for the ultimate breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter—fold until just combined to keep pancakes tender.
  • Use medium heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Let the batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate the baking powder.
  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
  • For extra fluffiness, separate and whip egg whites and fold them into the batter.
