- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter plus more for cooking

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined — small lumps are okay. Do not overmix!
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 per pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Serve
Stack 'em high, top with maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream!

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.

Sub buttermilk for milk for a richer, tangier flavor.

You can add blueberries, chocolate chips, or even lemon zest!
