Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk can be whole, almond, or any preferred type
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Stir until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined.
  4. Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
  5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Try adding chocolate chips or fruits to the batter for a twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat pancakes in the toaster for a quick breakfast.
