Mildred’s Pancakes

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

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

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly grease with additional butter or cooking spray.

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

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
