Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. - Create the Batter
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. (Do not overmix – a few lumps are fine.) - Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear on top, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden. - Serve and Enjoy
Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit, and enjoy warm.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Use room-temperature ingredients for a fluffier texture.
- Don’t press the pancakes while cooking; let them rise naturally.
- Try adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or bananas for extra flavor.
