Method

Preparation of Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Preparation of Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

Combining Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve Hot

    Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup drizzled on top. Add fresh fruit if desired.
