Ingredients

For the Pancake:

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour fluffed up before measuring
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Butter for greasing and topping
  • to taste Syrup for topping

Instructions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients - In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
  • Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients - In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg yolk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Step 3: Combine Both Mixtures - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
  • Step 4: Preheat Your Skillet - Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to grease the surface.
  • Step 5: Cook the Pancake - Once the skillet is hot, pour the batter into the skillet, forming a pancake about 4 inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Step 6: Flip and Finish Cooking - Carefully flip the pancake using your spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and repeat with any remaining batter.
  • Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Top your pancake with a pat of butter and drizzle with syrup. Feel free to add fresh fruits, nuts, or whipped cream for an extra special touch!
