Classic Pancakes Recipe
Servings: 4 | Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Total Time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients 🥄: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients 🥛: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry 🍳: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy — don’t overmix!
- Preheat the Griddle 🔥: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the Pancakes 🍽️: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve 🍯: Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup, or your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
Tips & Variations:
- For Fluffy Pancakes 🍰: Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking to allow the ingredients to fully incorporate.
- Add-ins 🍓: Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas to the batter for extra flavor.
- Buttermilk Variation 🧈: Substitute buttermilk for regular milk for an extra fluffy and tangy twist.
- Make it Vegan 🌱: Replace the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk for a vegan version.
Enjoy these Classic Pancakes with all your favorite toppings!
