Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by gathering all the ingredients and equipment. In a mixing bowl, I combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. I whisk them together until well combined, which helps aerate the flour and ensures a light texture. In another bowl, I whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then I pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently until just combined—the batter should be a bit lumpy. I always remind myself not to overmix, as that can lead to tough pancakes.
