Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons White Sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 Egg
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well combined into a smooth batter.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat your nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the batter to promote even cooking and a golden color.
- Cook the pancakes: Scoop about ⅓ cup of pancake batter into the center of the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges become golden, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
- Keep pancakes warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the warm pancakes with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite fresh fruit for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- For an even golden top, avoid oiling or buttering the skillet if you have a good nonstick surface.
- If your skillet tends to stick, lightly oil or butter it before cooking each batch.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
- Add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips can be added to the batter before cooking for variety.
