These fluffy vanilla pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, offering a light and airy texture with a hint of vanilla sweetness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, sugar, salt, and flour.
Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed to avoid lumps in the batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Using room temperature ingredients helps the batter mix more smoothly.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Ensure the griddle is evenly heated for consistent cooking.
Pour batter onto the griddle, about 1/4 cup per pancake, and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown.
Wait for the edges to set and bubbles to appear before flipping the pancakes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Warm the syrup slightly before serving for an extra touch of comfort.
