Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
- Cooking spray or additional oil for the skillet
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Mix until fully combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
-
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
-
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
-
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
-
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- You can also add chocolate chips or blueberries for a delicious twist.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Enjoy your fluffy, no-butter, no-baking powder pancakes!
