  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: 6 pancakes (serves 2) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup (95 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: butter, maple syrup, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. In another bowl whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet into the dry and whisk gently until just combined; small lumps are okay.
  4. Grease a skillet and heat over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake; cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden.
  6. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup or berries.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If the batter seems thick, whisk in a splash of milk.
  • Butter yields richer flavor while oil helps browning.
