Method

Prepare Dry Ingredients

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

Prepare Wet Ingredients

  1. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Combine and Cook

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  2. 4

    Heat Pan

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

  3. 5

    Cook Pancakes

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

  4. 6

    Repeat Cooking

    Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and a handful of fresh berries on the side.
