1. Mix dry ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Combine gently
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (small lumps are okay—don’t overmix!).
4. Heat the pan
Warm a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
5. Cook pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2–3 minutes), then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
6. Serve warm
Stack them up and serve immediately.
🔥 Pro Tips
- Don’t press pancakes while cooking—this keeps them fluffy
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for better texture
- Use medium heat (too hot = burnt outside, raw inside)
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries for variation
🍯 Serving Ideas
- Classic: butter + maple syrup
- Fresh: strawberries, bananas, blueberries
