Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Cook the 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 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup drizzled on top.
