Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract if using.
  • Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is lumpy—avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve: Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining pancakes. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter. Gently combine the wet and dry ingredients to keep the texture light.
  • You can freeze leftover pancakes for up to 2 months and reheat them in a toaster or microwave.
