Ingredients

Scale

Dairy and Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Ingredient:

  • Extra unsalted butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring uniform distribution of dry components.
  2. Crack egg into a separate container, then introduce milk, liquefied butter, and aromatic vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly integrated.
  3. Create batter by gradually incorporating liquid mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently with minimal agitation, allowing slight textural irregularities to remain.
  4. Prepare cooking surface by heating non-stick skillet or griddle to medium temperature (approximately 350°F). Apply thin layer of butter to prevent adherence.
  5. Ladle approximately 1/4 cup batter onto heated surface for each pancake. Monitor cooking process: wait until surface develops small bubbles and edges appear matte (2-3 minutes).
  6. Execute precise flip, allowing opposite side to caramelize to golden-brown perfection within 1-2 minutes.
  7. Transfer fluffy pancakes to serving plate. Enhance with maple syrup, dollop of butter, scattered fresh berries, cloud-like whipped cream, or delicate powdered sugar sprinkle.

Notes

  • Prevent tough pancakes by mixing the batter minimally, leaving small lumps to create a tender texture.
  • Ensure consistent pancake thickness by using a measuring cup or ladle for uniform batter portioning.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid and create fluffier pancakes.
  • Customize the recipe by substituting part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives for different dietary needs.
