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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir them together to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. This helps to incorporate the wet and dry ingredients more easily.
- Whisk Batter: Whisk all the ingredients together until the batter is smooth but still thick. Light lumps are acceptable, and if the batter feels too thick, add a little more milk to reach a smoother consistency.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Use the back of a measuring cup to gently spread the batter into a round shape. Cook until the underside is golden and bubbles form on top, then flip using a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat & Serve: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit as desired.
Notes
- The batter can be adjusted by adding more milk if it is too thick for your preference.
- Use medium-low heat to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through evenly.
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter to keep it light.
- Butter or oil can be used to grease the pan to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, but pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
