Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons (30g) melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed (a few lumps are okay).
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes).
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, or chocolate chips!
Notes
- For Extra Fluffiness: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk, and use vegetable oil instead of butter.
- Make It Healthier: Use whole wheat flour or a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for added fiber.
- Crispy Edges: Cook pancakes in a lightly greased cast-iron skillet for a crispy texture.
- Storage & Freezing: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or oven for the best texture.
