Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and cracked egg into this well.
- Mix Batter: Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together just until smooth. A few lumps are fine as they help keep the pancakes fluffy. If the batter is too thick for your liking, gradually stir in additional milk to reach desired consistency.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a round shape using the back of the measuring cup.
- Flip Pancakes: When the underside turns golden brown and bubbles form on the surface, carefully flip with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden brown as well.
- Serve: Repeat this process with remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit as desired.
Notes
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out for easier pouring and fluffier pancakes.
- Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to avoid burning and ensure they cook evenly inside.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative like almond or oat milk if preferred.
- For extra flavor, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy.
