These fluffy vanilla pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic recipe, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth batter and prevents lumps.
Whisk together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
Ensure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid cooking the egg.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat.
Use a non-stick griddle or lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
Wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping the pancakes.
Cook until golden brown on both sides and serve warm.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
