Carlos Sainz’s Fluffy Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, mix together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until blended.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary.
