📝 Preparation Steps
1
Gather and prepare all ingredients.
2
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
3
Mix
4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.

5
Combine
6
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. DO NOT overmix. The batter should be thick yet still pourable, with a few lumps remaining. If it isn’t pourable, add an additional 1-2 tablespoons of milk until it reaches the right consistency. A batter that’s too thick can turn out slightly dry once cooked.

Rest
8
Next, let the batter rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate fully, relaxes the gluten, and activates the baking powder, resulting in tender, thicker, and more evenly cooked pancakes.

Cook
10
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium. Once hot, add enough cooking oil to coat the surface (I use about ½ tsp per pancake). Add the batter to the hot griddle, ¼ cup at a time. Use the back of the measuring cup to spread the batter into a 4.5-inch diameter circle.

Flip
12
Cook until bubbles form over the surface and begin to pop, the edges look dry, and the bottom is golden brown, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Flip them and cook on the second side until golden brown, for about ⏱️ 30 seconds.
13
Serve
14
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet between batches or as needed, until all the pancakes have been cooked. Keep them warm on a plate under a towel or in a warm oven until all the remaining batter is cooked. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
