Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for a light and fluffy texture
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder for leavening
  • ½ teaspoon salt balances sweetness and enhances flavor
  • ¾ cup warm milk can substitute with non-dairy milk
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter for flavor and moisture
  • 1 large egg for binding the ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon sugar adds sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor
  • 4 teaspoon cooking oil for greasing the skillet

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but still pourable and a little lumpy. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the right consistency. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add about ½ teaspoon of oil per pancake to coat the cooking surface.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, using the back of the measuring cup to spread it into a 4.5-inch diameter circle.
  6. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, about 60 seconds. Flip and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 30 seconds.
  7. Continue cooking the remaining pancakes, adding oil to the skillet as needed between batches. Keep the pancakes warm by covering them with a towel or placing them in a low oven while cooking the rest.
