Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup leftover champagne
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the leftover champagne, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense pancakes.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.

6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the surface as needed.
