Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, aluminum-free
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 ¼ cups milk, any
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Break up the egg with a fork, then mix with the liquids before combining with the flour. Mix until just combined and mostly smooth; do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat (300-350F) and grease with butter or spray.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the surface. Use a spoon to shape into circles if needed.
Cook for 2 minutes until bubbles form and edges look defined.
Flip and cook the second side for 1-2 minutes. Do not press down on the pancake.
Keep warm in a 200F oven or serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
• Add-ins: Fold in 1 cup of blueberries or ½ cup of chocolate chips after mixing.
• Consistency: If too thick, add 2 tbsp milk. If too thin, add 1-2 tbsp flour.
• Flat Pancakes: This usually means your baking powder is expired. Always use fresh leavening.
• Heat Tip: If the butter browns instantly, your pan is too hot.
