Pancakes

Instructions (6 steps)

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using).

3. 3

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; lumps are ok—do not overmix.

4. 4

   Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

5. 5

   Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until you see bubbles form and the edges look set, 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook until golden, another 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
