- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 large egg

Sift together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a large bowl.
Make a well in the middle of the dry mix. Add the wet ingredients-the egg, milk, and butter.
Lightly whisk the batter together until just mixed. The batter will have small lumps. Let sit 5 minutes while your skillet heats up.
Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. With large skillet on medium-high heat add 1/4 cup of pancake batter to the skillet.
Let cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges are dry.
Flip and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Top for butter, powdered sugar, and pure maple syrup to serve!
TIPS FOR THIS FLUFFY PANCAKE RECIPE
- Do not over mix: Your pancakes will be dense and hard if you mix too long. You only want to mix the ingredients together and stop.
- Butter the pan when you are cooking the pancakes. This helps them to not stick and adds more flavor.
- Butter: top the pancakes with REAL butter and REAL maple syrup.
- Use whole milk! This is important for the overall taste. The added fat in whole milk makes these pancakes perfect.
