2. Mix wet ingredients
- In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Combine

4. Cook the pancakes
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat
- Lightly grease with butter or oil

- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more
5. Serve

💡 Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Don’t overmix—overmixing makes pancakes tough
- Medium heat ensures they cook through without burning
- Rest the batter for 5–10 minutes for fluffier pancakes
- Add-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, or mashed banana
These pancakes are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet—perfect for a cozy morning breakfast.
If you want, I can give you a quick 10-minute microwave version for instant pancakes without a griddle.
