Method

Preparation of Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Preparation of Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully mixed.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking Pancakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.

  2. 5

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and whipped cream on top, according to your taste.
