Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing 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, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Skillet

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries on top.
