Homemade Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Instructions

• Melt the butter in microwave for 30 seconds, set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Stir milk and egg together.
• Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
• Pour the butter, vanilla, and milk mixture into the well.
• Use a wire whisk to stir everything together until just combined. It will be slightly thick and lumpy, but should be well incorporated.
• Allow the batter to rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle to medium high heat.
• Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
• Cook each side for 3-6 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
