Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/4 cups Milk
  • 1 Egg large
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • (Optional Add-ins)
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas
  • Cinnamon pinch for warmth

Method
 

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients
    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gently whisk until smooth — small lumps are okay. Don’t overmix; that’s the secret to fluffy pancakes!
  3. Heat the Griddle
    Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  4. Cook the Pancakes
    Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, and edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Keep Warm
    Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover lightly with foil while you cook the rest.
  6. Serve
    Stack pancakes high, drizzle with maple syrup, and add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.
