Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Prepare the Batter: Gradually stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing gently. Avoid overmixing—some lumps are fine.

  • Serve: Serve warm with toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
