Light, fluffy, and infused with the sweet aroma of vanilla, these pancakes are a breakfast favorite. Perfect for stacking high and pairing with your favorite toppings, they make mornings extra special!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

3. Make the Batter:
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.

4. Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter.

5. Cook the Pancakes:
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (1-2 minutes).

6. Serve and Enjoy:
Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with syrup, and add your favorite toppings: butter, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar!

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a ladle or measuring cup to ensure evenly sized pancakes.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F (95°C) while finishing the rest.
