Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Mix batter: Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth, allowing for some lumps. The batter will be thick; add a little more milk if a thinner consistency is preferred.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and gently spread into a round shape using the back of the measuring cup.
- Flip when bubbles appear: Cook until the underside is golden and bubbles form on top, then flip with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat and serve: Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter. Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; some lumps are okay.
- If the batter is too thick, gradually add more milk until the desired consistency is reached.
- Use a nonstick pan or griddle for best results and easier flipping.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat gently before serving.
