Delicious Fluffy Classic Pancakes in 20 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (25g)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (12g)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5g)
• 1 cup milk (240ml; any variety, dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (28g)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Additional butter or cooking spray for frying

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather and measure all ingredients.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.

3. 3

   In another bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).

4. 4

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.)

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

6. 6

   Use a ladle to pour batter onto the skillet, forming pancakes (about ¼ cup each).

7. 7

   Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.

8. 8

   Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning.

9. 9

   Serve immediately or keep warm in a preheated oven until ready to serve.
