Pancake Batter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Preheat Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a little butter or cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
