Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center and add milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Mix gently until just combined—lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle over medium-high heat. Grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
