Instructions

Preparing the batter

  1. Shift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk together milk, egg, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until blended.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl.
  4. Use a spatula to fold and mix the batter until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cooking the pancakes

  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet, electric or stovetop griddle over medium flame.
  2. Grease the skillet lightly with oil or butter and use a paper towel to spread it evenly.
  3. Pour a ladleful ( or use ¼ cup measuring cup) of batter into the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the pancake's surface and the edges appear slightly set.
  4. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serving

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, whipped cream, and any desired toppings.

Notes

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are fine. Overmixing can lead to chewy pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
  • Ensure your baking powder is still active by mixing ½ teaspoon with ¼ cup boiling water. If the mixture begins to bubble, your baking powder is good to use.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle, and make sure the skillet is hot enough.
  • Lightly grease the cooking surface with oil, cooking spray, or butter and use a paper towel to spread it uniformly.
  • Use a ladle or cup to pour the batter onto the cooking surface. This helps to keep the pancake sizes consistent.
  • Don’t flip the pancakes until they are almost cooked through so they don’t fall apart.
  • Don’t overcook the pancakes, or they will be dry!
  • Allow the pancakes to come to room temperature before placing them in the fridge or freezer.
