This classic pancake recipe is a fool-proof way to start off any morning on a sweet note. These pancakes are made with simple ingredients but what sets this recipe apart is the perfect balance of sweetness, a light and fluffy texture, and a hint of vanilla in every bite.

How to Make:

1. Sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl.
2. Then, stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well blended.
3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat together 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
4. Once the ingredients are well incorporated, make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
5. Carefully mix until just moistened, being careful not to over mix the batter.
6. To make the pancakes, heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with canola oil, cooking spray, or butter.
7. For each pancake, scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
8. Once you begin to see bubbles on the surface and the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. Transfer to a plate and cover lightly with foil to keep warm. Make sure to coat the skillet before each pancake to ensure they will not stick.
10. Then, drizzle with maple syrup or desired topping and serve immediately while pancakes are still warm.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How can I make these pancakes extra fluffy?
A: To make extra fluffy pancakes, you can use buttermilk instead of regular milk. This will add a tangy flavor to your pancakes, as well as more tenderness since buttermilk has more acidity than milk. If you decide to use buttermilk, reduce the amount of baking powder to 1 teaspoon and add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.

Q: How can I store these pancakes?
A: These pancakes are best enjoyed while they are still warm, but if you have some leftovers you can store them in an air-tight container in the fridge or freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply reheat in the microwave or enjoy them cold.

Q: What is the best topping for these pancakes?
A: The classic topping for pancakes is maple syrup, but the possibilities are limitless. You can top your pancakes with anything from fresh fruit, nut butter, or even melted chocolate chips.
