  1. Serves: 4 (makes about 8 pancakes)


🛒 Ingredients

  1. 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  2. 3½ tsp baking powder
  3. ½ tsp salt
  4. 1 tbsp white sugar
  5. 1¼ cups milk
  6. 1 egg

  8. 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but delicious)

👨‍🍳 How to Make the Perfect Pancakes


🔹 1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

🔹 2. Add the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl or measuring cup, combine:

  1. Milk
  2. Egg
  3. Melted butter
  4. Vanilla extract (if using)
  5. Mix until smooth, but don’t overbeat.

🔹 3. Combine Wet & Dry

  1. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  2. Pour in the wet mixture and gently fold just until combined.
  3. Do not overmix — some lumps are okay! Overmixing = flat pancakes.

🔹 4. Preheat & Grease Your Pan

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

🔹 5. Cook Your Pancakes

  1. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
  2. When bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2 minutes), flip.
  3. Cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  4. Repeat, greasing the pan as needed.

🔹 6. Serve Immediately

Stack them up and top with:

  1. Butter 🧈
  2. Maple syrup 🍁
  3. Fresh berries 🍓
  4. Whipped cream 🍦
  5. Nutella, peanut butter, or honey 🥜
