Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 Tbsp granulated sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups milk
4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg into the well. Whisk together until the batter is smooth, with a few lumps remaining. The batter will be thick, but you can add a bit more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Heat the Pan: Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Cook the 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. Cook until the bottom is golden and bubbles start to form on the top. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve Warm: Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Don’t Overmix the Batter: It’s okay if your batter has a few lumps. Overmixing can lead to tough, chewy pancakes instead of light, fluffy ones.
Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes after mixing helps the gluten relax, resulting in softer pancakes.
Control the Heat: Cooking pancakes on medium-low heat ensures they cook evenly without burning on the outside before the inside is done.
