Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder (10 g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (3 g)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (12 g)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups milk (300 ml)
  • 1 egg (about 50 g, no shell)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter or oil (45 ml)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (10 ml)

Instructions

  1. Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until well blended. Slowly sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into the wet ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; avoid over-mixing. If the batter seems too thick, gradually add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
  2. Cook the pancakes: Preheat a pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set, usually about 2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional minute until golden brown.
  3. Serve and enjoy: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay.
  • You can substitute milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk if desired.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat by warming them in a hot pan or microwave before serving.
