Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil, for cooking
Steps to Make Old Fashioned Pancakes
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon or whisk. Mix until just combined, but be careful not to overmix. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm. Continue cooking the remaining pancakes in batches.
- Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
