  • Cooking method: Pan Fry
  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 15 minutes
  • Cuisine: Breakfast, Brunch

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Ninja skills not required, but encouraged.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined. No muscle needed.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth. If lumps exist, pretend they’re tiny clouds.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a knob of butter and let it melt, spreading it around the pan. Picture it as painting your pan with buttery goodness.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes. Note: bubble watching is mandatory.
  6. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Channel your inner pancake-flipping ninja.
  7. Transfer the pancake to a plate and repeat until all batter is used up. Remember to add more butter to the pan if necessary. No one wants dry pancakes.

Suggestions

Get adventurous – try substituting the milk with almond or oat milk for a twist. You can add fruit slices like bananas or blueberries straight into the batter. For a gourmet touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top or drizzle with pure maple syrup. If you’re feeling extra fancy, add a dollop of whipped cream or a dash of cinnamon. Go wild, it’s your pancake party!
