Cooking Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together until well combined and there are no lumps.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Make sure the butter isn’t too hot to avoid cooking the egg!
• Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a whisk, gently mix until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; over-mixing can lead to tough pancakes.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to grease the surface.
• Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
• Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy every fluffy bite!
