Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients:

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

Prepare Pancake Batter:

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

Preheat Skillet:

  • Heat a non stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.

Cook Pancakes:

  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve:

  • Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes

  • For Fluffier Pancakes: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.
  • Optional Add-Ins: Mix in chocolate chips, blueberries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor.
