Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons (17 g) baking powder
- 1 tablespoon (12 g) sugar
- ½ teaspoon (3 g) salt
Instructions
- Mixing Station: Combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until perfectly integrated.
- Liquid Fusion: Whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate vessel, creating a smooth, homogeneous liquid mixture.
- Batter Creation: Gently fold wet ingredients into dry components, stirring until just incorporated – maintain a slightly lumpy texture for optimal fluffiness, avoiding aggressive mixing.
- Griddle Preparation: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly coating surface with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure golden edges.
- Pancake Crafting: Carefully ladle batter onto heated surface, allowing pancakes to develop small bubbles across the top and set around edges (approximately 2 minutes). Expertly flip each pancake, cooking opposite side until achieving a rich, golden-brown complexion (roughly 1 additional minute).
Notes
- Gently combine wet and dry ingredients, leaving small lumps in the batter – this ensures tender, fluffy pancakes with a light texture.
- Use medium heat to prevent burning; pancakes should cook slowly, allowing even browning and thorough cooking without scorching.
- If batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, sprinkle extra flour to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Let batter sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid, resulting in more tender and softer pancakes.
