  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. 2. Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Break up the egg first with a fork, then mix it with the liquid ingredients, preventing overmixing.
  3. 3. Heat a non-stick griddle or large pan over medium heat, grease it, and pour ¼ cup of batter onto the surface.
  4. 4. Cook the first side for about 2 minutes until edges are defined and bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden on the other side.

Notes

1. Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and contribute to a fluffy texture.
2. Ensure your griddle is at medium heat for even cooking and golden-brown results.
3. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for an optimal rise.
