→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
2 cups of all-purpose flour
02 -
4 tablespoons of granulated sugar
03 -
4 teaspoons of baking powder
04 -
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
05 -
1/2 teaspoon of salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
1 3/4 cups of whole milk
07 -
4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
08 -
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
09 -
1 large egg
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Create a small well in the center of your dry mixture - this will help everything combine more evenly.
02 -
Pour the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg into the well you created. Gently whisk everything together until you get a smooth batter. Don't worry if you see a few small lumps - they're actually perfect for fluffy pancakes! If your batter seems too thick, feel free to add a splash more milk.
03 -
Warm up a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a little butter to coat the surface - this will give your pancakes that gorgeous golden color and prevent sticking.
04 -
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto your heated pan for each pancake. Use the back of your measuring cup to gently spread it into a nice round shape. Watch for bubbles to form on the surface and the edges to look set - that's your cue to flip! Cook the other side until it's beautifully golden brown.
05 -
Stack your fluffy pancakes high and serve them warm with your favorite toppings. Maple syrup, fresh honey, or seasonal fruits all make wonderful accompaniments. Dig in while they're hot for the best experience!
# Notes:

These pancakes are wonderfully soft and thick - perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast that feels special but doesn't require fancy ingredients.
