Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

  2. 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.

  3. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and powdered sugar, if desired.
