Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk, whole milk preferred for richness
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) melted unsalted butter, cooled slightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil, for greasing the pan

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
