Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk (any)
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg together. Then, mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and brown the other side, about 1-2 minutes each side.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter for the best fluffiness. Experiment with milk types and toppings.
