  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.

Step 6: Flip and Finish Cooking

Tips

  • For extra flavor, consider adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter before cooking.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
  • To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batch, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F.
