Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Combine the Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients.
   • Stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
   • Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Flip with a spatula and cook until browned on the other side, another 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot with fresh strawberries and a small bowl of chocolate spread or your favorite toppings like maple syrup, butter, or whipped cream.

Enjoy your fluffy, homemade pancakes!
