Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

In the microwave melt the butter in a two cup glass measuring cup or small mixing bowl. Add milk and warm for 30-60 seconds, until butter remains melted on the surface of the milk.

Add egg and vanilla to the milk and butter mixture. Whisk to combine.

Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

In a large frying pan, warm 1 tablespoon butter or oil over medium heat. Once the butter or oil is warmed, drop the batter into the hot butter or oil. I like to use a ¼ cup cookie scoop to pour the batter into the pan.

Once tiny bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancakes, flip them over and cook on the second side, for 1-2 more minutes.

Garnish finished pancakes with butter, fresh fruit and warm maple syrup.
