Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar adding a touch of sweetness to your batter, balancing out the flavors and enhancing the overall taste of your baked goods.
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt a key ingredient that enhances the flavors and brings out the natural sweetness of the other ingredients, ensuring a well-rounded and balanced taste.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter cooled to room temperature, adding richness and moisture to your batter, resulting in a tender and buttery texture in your final baked goods.
- 1 large egg acting as a binding agent and providing structure to your batter, contributing to the overall texture and helping your baked goods hold their shape.
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour a versatile and finely milled flour that serves as the foundation for your recipe, providing structure and a light, tender crumb to your baked goods.
- 3/4 cup of milk providing hydration and contributing to the moistness and tenderness of your baked goods, creating a delicate and soft crumb.
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla adding a warm and aromatic flavor to your batter, infusing your baked goods with a subtle and inviting fragrance.
- 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder a leavening agent that helps your batter rise and gives your final product a fluffy and airy texture, ensuring a delightful lift and softness.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, vanilla, and eggs. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Grease a skillet or griddle and preheat over medium-high heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the greased pan or griddle and spread into a circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between each pancake if needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup and berries.
Notes
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, use a scant 1/4 cup of batter instead of a full 1/4 cup.
- You can make this recipe dairy-free by using alternative milk like almond or oat milk.
- Make sure to cook the pancakes over medium heat. Otherwise, they may burn before they are cooked through.
