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

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

  2. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, fold in chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter.

  3. 5

    Heat Pan

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.

  4. 6

    Cook Hot Cakes

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

  5. 7

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the hot cake using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 8

    Serve

    Remove the hot cakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve hot with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
