Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Chocolate chips or sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Add color (optional): If you want some fun colors in your pancakes, divide the batter into separate bowls and stir in food coloring to create the desired colors.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook pancakes: Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate, top with whipped cream, and decorate with chocolate chips or sprinkles as desired.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes and use a suitable heat for cooking.
