Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the flour to hydrate and helps create fluffier pancakes.

  4. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips

  • For extra flavor, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
  • If you want to make the pancakes even fluffier, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the batter just before cooking.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.

Enjoy your delicious, homemade pancakes!
