Easy and Delicious Homemade Pancakes Recipe

Easy and Delicious Homemade Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spoon or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
4. Preheat the Pan:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake, and the edges start to look set.
   • Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Serve:
   • Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or butter.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes:

• Don’t Overmix: Lumpy batter is okay! Overmixing can make the pancakes dense.
• Adjust Consistency: If the batter is too thick, you can add a little extra milk, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
• Keep Warm: If making multiple batches, keep the pancakes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven on a baking sheet while you finish cooking the rest.
