Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the skillet)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: Fresh blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas for mix-ins

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently; it's okay if there are some lumps. Do not overmix—this will keep the pancakes fluffy!

        Prepare the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.

          Cook Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. If you'd like to add mix-ins (like blueberries or chocolate chips), sprinkle them onto the pancakes now. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

            Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.

              Serve: Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low-heat oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

                Enjoy: Gather around with family or friends to savor these delightful pancakes!
