Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Use fresh baking powder for best results.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter Plus extra for the pan.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional but recommended.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
Cooking
  1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, adjusting to medium-low if your stove tends to run hot.
  2. Add a small amount of butter to the skillet and let it melt, then wipe away excess with a paper towel.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  4. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Serve pancakes warm with your choice of syrup, butter, and any desired toppings.
  2. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if serving a crowd.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas directly onto the pancake after pouring the batter.
