Old Fashioned Pancakes

Here’s a classic recipe for old-fashioned pancakes:

Old Fashioned Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; the batter may be a bit lumpy, but that’s okay. Over-mixing can make the pancakes tough.
4. Heat the Pan: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve: Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
