Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 8 pancakes

  • (1 cup) all-purpose flour
  • (2 tablespoons) sugar
  • (1 tablespoon) baking powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1 cup) milk
  • (1) large egg
  • (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
  • (1 cup) mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, and bananas)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, mix 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

  6. 6

    Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.

  7. 7

    While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the fresh fruit by washing and slicing as necessary.

  8. 8

    Serve the pancakes warm, topped with mixed fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup.
