Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk whole or low-fat
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Butter or pure maple syrup, or other toppings for serving

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Non-stick Skillet or Griddle
  • Spatula
  • Serving plate

Method
 

Directions:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir with a whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. While the batter rests, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Once the skillet is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the batter is used. Serve your fluffy pancakes warm, topped with butter, pure maple syrup, fresh fruits, or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest before cooking.
  • Try adding chocolate chips or blueberries for a fun twist!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
