Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a pat of butter.
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Serving Suggestions: Perfect with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or a side of crispy bacon.
