Best Homemade Pancakes

• servings: 3 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. (180 g.) all-purpose flour

1 tbsp. granulated sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 1/3 c. whole milk

1 large egg

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2 tbsp. melted unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for cooking and serving

Maple syrup, for serving

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla. While whisking, stream in melted butter and whisk to combine.

Gently fold dry ingredients into milk mixture until just combined (do not overmix; some lumps are okay).

Preheat a griddle or other large heavy skillet over medium heat until hot but not scorching, 2 to 3 minutes.

Melt enough butter to cover surface of griddle, then pour about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Cook pancake until bubbles form on top and sides start to lift from pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until bottom is golden brown and pancake is fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Wipe off griddle, then repeat with more butter and remaining batter (you should get about 10 pancakes).

Divide pancakes among plates. Serve with butter and syrup.
