2. 3½ tsp baking powder
3. ½ tsp salt

5. 1¼ cups milk

👨‍🍳 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)

🔹 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 🥜
