Classic Homemade Pancakes with Melted Butter

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup milk

• 1 large egg

• 3 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or additional melted butter.
