Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Frying pan or griddle
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg size L
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center – Push the dry ingredients to the sides of the bowl, creating a well in the middle.
  • Add wet ingredients – Crack the egg into the well, pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and gently mix.
  • Fold the batter – Stir gently until just combined; small lumps in the batter will make the pancakes fluffier.
  • Heat the pan – Lightly grease a frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
  • Cook the pancakes – Pour small amounts of batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute.
  • Serve and enjoy – Stack the pancakes, top with your favorite syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar, and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine!
Use medium heat to prevent burning.
Serve with honey, jam, or fresh berries for extra flavor.
