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 smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat Griddle

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

  2. 5

    Cook Pancakes

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

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove pancakes from the griddle and keep warm. Serve immediately with your choice of optional toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, and powdered sugar.
