Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine salt sea or kosher
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar optional, for a touch of sweetness
- 1¼ cups milk whole milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons melted butter plus extra for greasing
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract adds a subtle aromatic note
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- For even fluffier results, let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4-cup portions of batter onto the hot surface. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm oven or cover to keep them warm while finishing the batch.
- Stack the pancakes, add desired toppings, and enjoy a cozy breakfast
Notes
Lumps matter: avoid overmixing for light pancakes. Adjust pan heat as needed. Dairy tweak: swap milk for buttermilk for tangy flavor. For a sweeter base, increase sugar. Use a well-seasoned skillet for best results.
