  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant based)

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

2. Combine Wet Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Prepare the Batter:

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, avoid overmixing.

  • Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve:

  • Transfer the pancakes to a plate and add your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
