Ingredients

1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

4 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

3 tbsp sugar (optional)

1 egg

1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk

¼ cup (60g) melted butter

½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, crack the egg and add the milk and vanilla extract. Melt the butter and whisk it into the wet ingredients.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture in. Gently fold the batter together until there’s no visible dry flour. It’s fine if there are a few lumps.
  4. Heat a heavy-based pan, like a cast iron skillet, over medium-low heat. Add a small knob of butter and let it melt.
  5. For each pancake, measure out ⅓ cup of batter and pour it into the pan. Let it spread naturally.
  6. Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and bubbles form in the center. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
