Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
8. Serve warm with your preferred toppings.
