Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Instructions
1️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined. 🍚
2️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate mixing jug, add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk these wet ingredients together until fully combined. 🥛
3️⃣ Add Wet to Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk until there are no dry spots left. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter has some small lumps. The batter should resemble the consistency of heavy cream. If it’s too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of milk and gently fold it in using a spatula. 🥄
4️⃣ Rest Time
Allow the batter to rest in the fridge for at least 10 minutes. The longer you let it rest, the fluffier your pancakes will be. For best results, rest the batter for up to an hour or even overnight. ⏲️
Cooking Your Pancakes
5️⃣ Warm Up Your Skillet
Heat a flat skillet or a flat-plated griddle over medium heat. Brush it with melted butter. Use an ice-cream scoop that holds about 3 tablespoons of batter and pour rounds of it onto your griddle or skillet. Alternatively, you can pour the batter from a jug, but you may need to add about 1-2 tablespoons more milk to thin it out. 🍳
6️⃣ Cook the Pancakes
Cook until bubbles begin to form on top of the pancakes and the batter looks a bit dull (less shiny). Flip the pancakes using a flat spatula and cook until golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as hazelnut spread, strawberries, berries, maple syrup, cream, or chocolate sauce! 🍓🍫🍯
