Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking soda (aluminum free)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)
Instructions
- To make the dry pancake mix, set out a mixing bowl or glass jar for storage. Measure the flour thoroughly by stirring the flour to fluff it in the bag, scooping the flour with a spoon into the measuring cups, and leveling the top. Then pour it into the bowl or a jar. Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well, or screw the top on the jar and shake vigorously to combine. (Multiply to make as many batches as you want.)
- When ready to use the pancake mix, preheat a large griddle or skillet to medium heat.
- Scoop 1 ¾ cups of the dry pancake mix (one whole batch) into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until all clumps are gone. Then add the melted butter and whisk again until smooth.
- When the griddle is hot, butter the griddle. Use ¼ measuring cup to scoop pancake batter onto the hot griddle. I usually like to do a test batch with one pancake first to make sure the griddle is at the right temperature. If it seems a little too hot, turn to medium-low.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes. Once bubbles form over the surface of the pancake, flip the pancake over and cook for another 2 minutes. Continue with the remaining batter, buttering the griddle as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- If using the pancake mix, you can multiply the ingredients to make larger batches for more servings.
- Always test the griddle temperature with a small batch to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
