Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups milk dairy or non-dairy
- egg large
- 70 grams butter unsalted, plus more for skillet
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
- Melt the butter and set it aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. (Don’t worry if the butter solidifies slightly).
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour in the milk mixture and stir gently with a fork until the flour is just incorporated. A few small lumps are okay. As the batter sits, it should start to bubble.
- Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sprinkle in a few drops of water to test if it’s ready. You want them to dance around a bit and evaporate.
- Brush the skillet with melted butter (this creates crispy edges, but you can skip it if using a quality nonstick pan).
- Scoop the batter onto the skillet using a 1/4 cup measure or large cookie scoop, and spread each pancake into a 4-inch circle.
- After 1 to 2 minutes, the edges will look dry, and bubbles will form and pop on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until lightly browned and cooked in the middle.
- Serve immediately with warm syrup, butter, and berries.
