Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (Sifted for a lighter texture)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (Ensure it is fresh for best results)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (Adjust according to your sweetness preference)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (Balances the sweetness)
• 1.25 cups milk (Use whole or low-fat milk)
• 1 large egg (Room temperature for better mixing)
• 3 tablespoons butter (Melted, plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional for flavor enhancement)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
2. Step 2: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
5. Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
6. Step 6: Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
