Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

  4. 4

    Preheat the Pan

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.

  6. 6

    Serve

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