- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
- Batter should be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix.

- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook 1–2 more minutes until golden.

Tips & Variations
- Extra fluffy: Separate egg; beat the white to stiff peaks and fold in gently.
- Add-ins: Blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed banana.
- Whole wheat version: Substitute half or all of the flour with whole wheat flour.
- Savory pancakes: Omit sugar and add herbs, cheese, or finely chopped vegetables.
