Ingredients

1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Start by whisking the egg until it is light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt until combined. Then, add the egg to the flour mixture and whisk until it is well combined. Slowly add the milk, butter and vanilla extract and mix until all the ingredients are incorporated. Make sure the batter is not too thick or too runny. It should be pourable but not too liquid.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the surface with butter or oil. Once the skillet is hot enough, pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet. When the edges of the pancake start to look dry and bubbles start to form on the top, flip the pancake and cook for about 1 minute until golden brown. Continue this process until all the batter is used.

Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, whipped cream or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
