Old Fashioned Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

– 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

– 1 tablespoon sugar

– ½ teaspoon salt

– 1 ¼ cups milk

– 1 egg

– 3 tablespoons melted butter

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

5. Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a pat of butter.
