Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Your Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Feel free to use the biggest bowl you have; nothing says “I’m serious about pancakes” like a mountain of flour!
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. This mixture should be smooth and silky, like a well-rehearsed Broadway tune.
- Combine: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just mixed. Remember, lumps are your friend—overmixing is a pancake’s worst nightmare!
- Heat Your Skillet: Get your frying pan or griddle hot over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of butter or cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks (and to add even more deliciousness!).
- Cook Your Pan-Cakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Flip them when bubbles start to form on top—golden brown is the goal here, folks!
- Serve and Enjoy: Stack them high, drizzle with maple syrup, and don’t forget the berries or whipped cream—because why not? Who said breakfast can’t be a little indulgent?
Notes
- Chocolate Lovers Unite: Toss in some chocolate chips into the batter for an added treat! Go ahead, you deserve it!
- Make Ahead: Feel free to double the recipe and freeze some pancakes. Just pop them in the toaster on busy mornings, and voilà—a quick breakfast without the mess!
- Little Helpers: If you’re cooking with kids, let them help mix the batter. It makes for fun memories—just warn them not to go too wild with the whisk!
