Equipment

  • Mixing bowl for preparing the batter
  • Whisk for mixing the ingredients
  • Non-stick skillet for cooking the pancakes
  • Spatula for flipping pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk whole or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Stack pancakes and serve warm with syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
  • Customization: Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Serving Tip: Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a delicious finish.
