Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl combine:
- flour
- baking powder
- sugar
- salt
Whisk everything together until evenly mixed.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl whisk together:
- milk
- egg
- melted butter
- vanilla extract
Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir gently until the batter is combined.
⚠️ Do not overmix. A few lumps are normal and help keep the pancakes fluffy.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat.
Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate and add:
- butter
- maple syrup
- fresh fruit
- powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
✅ Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Cook on medium heat so the pancakes cook evenly.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for extra fluffy pancakes.
- Do not press the pancakes with a spatula while cooking.
