Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and let it melt, coating the surface.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancake

    Pour the pancake batter into the skillet, using a ladle or measuring cup to create a large, round pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

  3. 6

    Flip the Pancake

    Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the pancake to a plate and serve warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
