Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined to ensure consistent fluffiness.
  2. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine, hydrating the flour and activating the baking powder.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Some small lumps are okay—overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
  4. Preheat and Grease Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil for even cooking without burning.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and fluffiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined to keep pancakes light.
  • Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate the baking powder fully.
  • For richer flavor and extra rise, substitute milk with buttermilk.
