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 a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

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

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Hotcakes

    For each hotcake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the hotcakes from the skillet and serve warm. Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, and whipped cream as desired.
