Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the additional tablespoon of butter or oil to coat the surface.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

  3. 6

    Flip and Finish

    Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Pancakes

    Serve the pancakes warm, topped with butter and maple syrup to taste.
