  • Cooking method: Stovetop
  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes
  • Cuisine type: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Butter or cooking spray for the pan

Cooking Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; lumps are okay.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and coat it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Suggestions

  • Alternative Ingredients: Substitute almond milk for regular milk for a dairy-free option. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for an extra flavor punch.
  • Garnishing Options: Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
  • Cooking Tips: Preheat your pan properly to avoid sticking, and don’t over-mix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy. Channel your inner pancake artist and create funny shapes!
