Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures the leavening agent is distributed well, which is key for fluffiness.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Mixing these ingredients separately avoids overworking the batter.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined—small lumps are okay! Overmixing can make pancakes tough, so resist stirring too much.
  4. Preheat and Grease the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. A properly heated pan prevents sticking and helps pancakes develop a golden crust.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour batter onto the pan in ¼ cup portions. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Keep Warm and Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set at low heat while you finish the batch. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh baking powder to guarantee rise and fluffiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir until ingredients just come together to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flour and thicken slightly.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking.
  • Use a ladle or measuring cup for even-sized pancakes that cook uniformly.
