Instructions
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Mix batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat the pan: Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
Chef's Tips
- Fluffy Tip: For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk. If too thin, add a bit more flour.
- Even Cooking: Use a measuring cup to pour batter for uniformly sized pancakes.
- Toppings: Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or whipped cream.
- Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
