Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (any)
  • 1 egg egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, mix milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

For an extra fluffy texture, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. You can also substitute milk with buttermilk for added fluffiness.
