Directions (Make the Batter)

Step 1

Whisk dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, and the salt in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Melt butter and warm milk. Warm milk in the microwave or on top of the stove until lukewarm, not hot.

Step 3

Whisk wet ingredients – milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

Mix the dry and wet ingredients using a fork to stir until combined.

Tip:

By warming the milk slightly, the melted butter mixes into the milk instead of turning into small lumps.

Directions (Cook the Pancakes)

Step 1

Heat a large skillet (or use griddle) over medium heat and lightly brush skillet with melted butter.

Step 2

Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to spoon batter into a into a 4-inch circle on the skillet.

Step 3

When edges look dry, and bubbles start to appear on the top of the pancake, turn over. This takes about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook another 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle.

Step 4

Serve immediately with butter and warm syrup.
