Yield: 10 pancakes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or cooking oil, for the pan
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes less fluffy.
- Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan again when needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
