Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined.
Tip: It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy – overmixing can make pancakes tough.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
To test if the pan is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface – if they sizzle and evaporate, you’re good to go.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour batter onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm.
Top with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or any of your favorite toppings.
