Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (white or brown)
  • 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk (whole or 2%; dairy-free options: almond or oat milk)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Cooking spray or extra butter for the griddle or pan

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon (if using) for about 2 minutes.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract for about 3 minutes.
  3. Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay. Do not overmix. This takes about 2 minutes.
  4. Preheat the griddle or pan over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should dance and evaporate quickly. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Total cooking time per batch is about 5 minutes.
  6. Keep cooked pancakes warm by placing them on a plate covered loosely with foil while finishing the batch.
  7. Serve pancakes stacked with toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine. Use medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a little flour. Keep pancakes warm covered with foil or in a warm oven. Kids can help with mixing and pouring but supervise griddle use.
