Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Heat the Griddle:
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter.

Cook the Pancakes:
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave enough space between pancakes to allow for spreading.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream as desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes 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, fluffy pancakes!
