Classic Pancakes Fluffy, golden pancakes: a simple breakfast staple ready in under 30 minutes. Prep time 10 minutes Cook time 15 minutes Servings 4 Servings Print Recipe Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 3/4 cup milk 1 large egg 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions Each step has a checkbox. Use the up and down arrow keys, or Home and End, to move between steps, and press Space to check one off. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix: a few lumps are fine. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown on the underside. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or butter.
