Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter plus more for cooking
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Fresh fruit of choice strawberries, blueberries, bananas, peaches, or mixed berries
  • Maple syrup or honey optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined (do not overmix). Batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Stack pancakes on a plate, top with fresh fruit, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Add fresh blueberries or sliced bananas directly into the batter for extra fruity pancakes.
  • For a healthier option, swap regular flour with whole wheat flour and top with Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
