- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg

- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Notes
💡 Keep your skillet at medium heat — too hot and the pancakes brown before cooking through.
