3

Make a well in the dry ingredients and crack 1 egg into it.

4

Add 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the well, along with some vanilla extract if available.

5

Use a fork to break up the egg and mix it with the other wet ingredients, then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until smooth with some lumps.

6

Heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and grease it with butter, oil, or spray.

7

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, spreading it slightly if needed.

8

Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes until the sides are defined and bubbles form on the surface, then flip them.

9

Cook the pancakes on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown, avoiding pressing them down with a spatula.

10

If the pan gets too hot, turn off the heat and cool it down with cold water or melt 2 ice cubes on the surface.

Stack the pancakes and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
