Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Lightly oil a griddle or frying pan and heat to medium-high (about 375°F).

Notes

Make ahead of time. Pancakes are best made right before serving. If making a lot, you can keep them warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven until you’re ready to serve.
Variations. This recipe is our go-to base for all kinds of pancakes. Try adding bananas, chocolate chips, blueberries, oatmeal, strawberries, raspberries, white chocolate chips, peaches, brown sugar, or cinnamon to the batter before cooking.
Want them fluffy? Let the batter rest for 15 minutes after mixing.
Store. Separate pancakes with parchment paper and place in a freezer-safe bag.
Freezing. We have a blog post ALL about freezing pancakes. Be sure to check it out for all our tips.
