Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 1/4 cups Milk
- 1 Large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the baking powder, leading to fluffy pancakes.
Combining the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the butter, as it could cook the egg.
Bringing It All Together
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps – overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
Cooking the Pancakes
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
Serving Suggestions
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
