Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour Sifted
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 ¼ cups Milk Whole or 2% preferred
  • 1 large Egg Beaten
  • 3 tbsp Butter Melted plus more for pan
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional but recommended

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl Large enough for batter
  • 1 Whisk or Fork For mixing dry & wet
  • 1 Non-stick Griddle or Skillet For even cooking
  • 1 Measuring Cups/Spoons For precise measuring
  • 1 Spatula For flipping pancakes

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix, lumps are okay!
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat your skillet.
  5. Grease the skillet with butter and heat over medium.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set.
  7. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden brown.
  8. Serve hot with maple syrup, berries, or your favorite toppings!

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, substitute half of the milk with buttermilk. Want them richer? Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg. Freeze leftovers with parchment paper between each for easy reheating.
