Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to your sweet-tooth level)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but nice)
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes if you have time. If not, no big deal—the pancakes still win.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  • Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Keep stacks warm if you like, or serve immediately.
