Ingredients (makes 8–10 medium pancakes)
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder (helps them rise and get fluffy)
- 1 tbsp sugar (you can adjust to taste, or use honey/maple syrup in the batter)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (room temperature)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the pan)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but adds great flavor)
Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Sugar
- Salt
This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent so the pancakes rise evenly.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl (or a large measuring jug), whisk together:
- Milk
- Egg
- Melted butter
- Vanilla extract
Make sure the milk and egg are at room temperature so the butter doesn’t solidify when mixed.
