Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

  2. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

  3. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
