Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Combine wet ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Bring it all together – Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—overmixing will make the pancakes dense.
4. Heat the griddle – Preheat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Cook the pancakes – Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
6. Serve warm – Stack the pancakes high and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
