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

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can test if it's ready by splashing a few drops of water on the surface; if they dance and evaporate, the pan is hot enough.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Flip the Pancakes

    Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with optional toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, and whipped cream.
