Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 ¼ cups whole milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the whole milk (or buttermilk), melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

      Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes—this is key for fluffiness!

        Heat The Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

          Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

            Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate and keep warm in a low-temperature oven if necessary. Top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
