Fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes with a golden crust and sweet vanilla aroma – ready in 15 minutes!
Ingredients (Serves 3-4):
1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (25g) sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 large egg
1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk for extra richness)
2 tbsp (30g) butter, melted (+ extra for cooking)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon zest
½ cup blueberries or chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat egg, then mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Make Batter
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (small lumps are okay – overmixing makes tough pancakes).
4. Cook Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Melt a pat of butter. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form (~2 mins), then flip and cook 1 more minute.
5. Serve
Stack high and top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream!
Tips:
🍳 Fluffier pancakes? Let batter rest 5 mins before cooking.
🥛 Dairy-free? Use almond milk + 1 tbsp vinegar (let sit 5 mins).
🔥 Golden secret: Wipe pan between batches to prevent burnt butter.
So soft they’ll disappear fast! 😋
Make-ahead: Cooked pancakes freeze well for 1 month. Reheat in toaster!
