American · Breakfast · 25 min total

Fluffy, golden pancakes perfect for a leisurely breakfast or brunch. This easy recipe yields tender, buttery pancakes with a hint of vanilla.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Make a well in the center and pour in milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
3. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
6. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.

Tips

• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
• Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for variation.
