Quick Pancake Recipe

Pancakes are a great way to start the day. They're quick, easy, and delicious!

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour 
• sugar 
• baking powder 
• salt 
• milk 
• egg at room temperature 
• melted unsalted butter

Instructions

Start by adding your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, and baking powder, to a medium bowl and mix until combined.

Then, in a separate mixing bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: milk, melted butter or oil of choice, egg, and vanilla extract (if using). Pour the combined wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the cooking surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter once it's hot. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.

Cook each pancake until you see bubbles form on the surface and the outer edges start to look dry; this should take about 2-3 minutes. Flip them over and cook until they're golden brown on both sides—about 1-2 minutes more per side (this may vary depending on how big your pancake is).

Finally, it's time to revel in your pancake stack. These make enough pancakes for about four servings if you're doing a couple of pancakes each. This recipe is easy enough to scale up if you're making these for a crowd.
