Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay to have a few lumps for fluffier pancakes.
- You can substitute whole milk with almond milk or another plant-based option.
- Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months; reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or bananas work great with this batter.
