Simple Ingredients

To make these quick pancakes, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk (or milk alternative)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

This simple list is designed for busy individuals who appreciate meals that require minimal effort but yield maximum satisfaction.

Quick Cooking Steps

Begin by whisking together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Then, add the milk, egg, melted butter, and optional vanilla extract. Whisk until combined, but be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the top, approximately 1–2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an instant breakfast treat. You can even prep the dry ingredients the night before for even quicker morning cooking!
