1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2️⃣ Blend Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3️⃣ Combine Gently
Pour wet mix into dry mix and stir JUST until combined (some lumps = fluffier pancakes!).
4️⃣ Cook to Golden Perfection
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat (too hot = burnt outsides, raw insides!).
Melt a dab of butter, then pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on top (~2 mins), then flip and cook 1 more minute.
5️⃣ Serve & Devour!
Stack high and top with:
🍯 Warm maple syrup
🧈 Extra butter
🍓 Fresh berries
🍫 Chocolate chips or whipped cream (go wild!)
💡 Pro Tips for Pancake Perfection
✔ Don’t overmix – Lumpy batter = airy pancakes.
✔ Rest batter 5 mins – Lets baking powder activate for max fluff.
✔ Keep pancakes warm – Place on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
✔ Freeze extras – Layer between parchment paper, freeze, then reheat in a toaster!
🔄 Delicious Variations
