Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients, folding gently.

Cooking

  • Preheat griddle over medium heat.
  • Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle, cooking until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden.
  • Serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

Don't overmix; lumps are friends, not enemies. If the batter sits for a few minutes, it tightens slightly, which is okay. Use more butter for a golden crust. Adjust the heat if the pancakes brown too quickly or not at all.
