Ingredients
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine the Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk them together until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve:
- Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, butter, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Note
- Batter Consistency: The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk; if it’s too runny, add a little more flour.
- Toppings: Pancakes can be customized with a variety of toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or banana slices added to the batter before cooking.
