Method

Preparation of Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Preparation of Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

Making the Pancake Batter

  1. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

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

Cooking the Pancakes

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray if desired.

  2. 5

    Pour the Batter

    Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.

  3. 6

    Cook Until Bubbles Form

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 7

    Flip and Cook

    Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit if desired.
