Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

2 min

Use a whisk to ensure even distribution of baking powder and salt

Blend Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using) until smooth.

2 min

Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly

Combine and Stir

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or whisk, gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy for lighter pancakes.

3 min

Overmixing develops gluten and leads to tough pancakes. Stir just until the flour disappears.

Preheat Griddle or Pan

Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or spray to coat the surface lightly.

Medium heat is best—too hot may burn, too cool results in pale, doughy pancakes.

Cook First Side

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface, spacing them apart. Watch for bubbles forming on the surface and the edges looking set (about 2–3 minutes).

Flip and Finish

Flip gently with a spatula, and cook the other side for about 1–2 minutes more until golden brown.

2 minMedium heattimer 2 min

Serve Warm

Transfer pancakes to a plate. Keep them warm in a low oven while you finish the batch if desired. Serve with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, whipped cream—or any of your favorite toppings.
