Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
For each pancake, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

For chocolate chip pancakes, stir in a handful of chocolate chips into the batter.

For berry pancakes, toss in fresh or frozen berries into the batter.

For banana pancakes, add sliced ripe bananas into the batter or as a topping.

To make whole wheat pancakes, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

Reheat pancakes in a toaster or toaster oven for a quick warm-up.

Freeze pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Use almond milk or oat milk as a milk alternative for similar fluffy results.

To prevent sticking, grease the skillet properly and ensure the pan is hot before adding the batter.
