Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 and 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Step 3: Stir the mixture gently until just combined. It is perfectly fine if there are a few lumps remaining; overmixing will result in tough pancakes.
  4. Step 4: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop the batter by large spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup per pancake) onto the hot surface.
  5. Step 5: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
