Copycat McDonald’s Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

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

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not over-mix. Some lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to grease the surface.

For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
