Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just mixed, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Prepare skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook first side: Pour the batter onto the skillet in desired pancake sizes. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm topped generously with maple syrup to enhance the festive flavors.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use whole milk or substitute with your preferred milk alternative.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated before pouring batter to avoid sticking.
- You can add festive spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra holiday flair.
- Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for added indulgence.
