Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
For each pancake, drop about 1 tablespoon of batter onto the hot skillet, leaving space between pancakes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 1-2 minutes.
Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1 minute more.
Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
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.
These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or microwave.
