Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (fresh preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or almond/oat milk for vegan option)
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flaxseed egg for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries)
  • Chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
  • Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure even rising and balanced sweetness.
  2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to combine smoothly.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; overmixing can make pancakes tough.
  4. Preheat the Pan and Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form around the edges, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  5. Serve Warm and Garnish: Stack the pancakes high and add toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup immediately to keep them warm and inviting.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and fluffier pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Test pan temperature by dropping a water drop; it should sizzle softly, not evaporate instantly.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to improve texture and rise.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for best fluffiness.
