Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1¾ cups milk
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, bananas)
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
-
Combine Wet & Dry: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently whisk until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
-
Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over low-medium heat. Lightly grease with butter and wipe off excess.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For fluffier pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it reaches a pourable consistency. Enjoy experimenting with toppings like nuts, honey, or even savory additions like cheese and bacon!
