1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 1⁄4 cups milk (any type)

1 egg

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

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

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined (be careful not to overmix; lumps are fine).

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Pour about 1⁄4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
