Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix, a few lumps are okay).
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
-
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
-
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- You can add-ins like chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas to the batter for added flavor.
- To make these pancakes gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- For a vegan version, use a flax egg and almond milk, and replace butter with vegetable oil.
- These pancakes can be frozen for up to a month for quick breakfasts.
