Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in microwave for 30 seconds, set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
3. Stir milk and egg together.
4. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
5. Pour the butter, vanilla, and milk mixture into the well.
6. Use a wire whisk to stir everything together until just combined. It will be slightly thick and lumpy, but should be well incorporated.
7. Allow the batter to rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle to medium high heat.
8. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
9. Cook each side for 3-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Notes
Make sure you are using BAKING POWDER, not baking soda. This is the key to the lift!
I like to set my electric griddle to 325 degrees and spray with nonstick spray.
Don’t overmix! Lumps are your friend for fluffy texture.
Freeze leftovers with parchment paper between layers for an easy weekday breakfast.
