Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until the dry ingredients are well incorporated and there are no lumps.

    In a separate bowl, crack the large egg and beat it lightly. Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until everything is combined into a smooth mixture.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixtures together. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Allow the batter to rest for approximately 5 minutes – this will help create fluffy pancakes.

        While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add a small knob of butter, letting it melt and swirl to coat the surface evenly.

          Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.

            Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, which should take an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the remaining batter.

              To serve, stack the fluffy pancakes on plates, generously drizzle with warm maple syrup, and add an optional topping of fresh berries or sliced bananas for an extra burst of flavor.
