Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 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; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the baking powder.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
6. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
