Recipe Notes
- Have your pan hot and ready so you can cook the batter immediately. If it sits, it'll thicken up.
- You could omit the vanilla extract, if desired.
- Instead of vanilla extract, try almond extract (though reduce the amount as it is a strong flavor) or lemon extract.
Here's how to make it:
- While you are making the batter, heat a large skillet over high heat. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
- In another bowl stir together the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- Butter the pan. Slowly pour the batter into the pan (it is thin so it will spread fast). Cook until bubbles start to show.
- Flip the pancakes over and cook a few seconds more or until cooked through (this will happen fast).
- Serve hot with desired toppings.
