  • Yield: 8 pancakes
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup blueberries, banana slices, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Fold in add-ins like blueberries, bananas, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
  • For a seasonal twist, add cinnamon or pumpkin puree to the batter.
  • Use almond milk and oil to make it dairy-free.
  • Swap half the flour with whole wheat for added fiber.
  • Store leftovers for quick weekday breakfasts—reheat in toaster or microwave.
