Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Whisk the Dry Ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures that the baking powder is evenly distributed, leading to a more consistent rise.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Make sure your butter isn’t too hot or it will cook the egg!
  • Combine Wet and Dry. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and result in tough pancakes.
  • Heat the Griddle. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. A good test is to flick a few drops of water onto the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the griddle is ready.
  • Cook the Pancakes. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip when the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown.
  • Serve & Enjoy! Serve immediately with your favorite toppings – butter, syrup, berries, whipped cream… the possibilities are endless!
