Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve: Serve warm with your choice of maple syrup, butter, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- For extra flavor, swirl a cinnamon-sugar mixture into each pancake while cooking.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added texture and crunch.
- These pancakes freeze well; reheat them in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast option.
