Pancake Batter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined and free of lumps.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease with a little butter.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated 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. Repeat with remaining batter.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, transfer pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
