Old Fashioned Pancakes

There’s something magical about the simplicity of old fashioned pancakes, a classic breakfast that evokes warm memories of cozy weekend mornings. These pancakes, with their golden-brown exterior and fluffy, tender interior, are the perfect canvas for a drizzle of maple syrup or a pat of melting butter

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional butter or oil for the pan

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed.
8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar.
