How To Make Pancakes For One

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, vanilla and melted butter.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. If the batter seems too thick, add more of the milk, a little at a time.

Step 4

Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 5

Ladle about 3/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles break the surface of the pancake, and the underside is golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.

Step 8

Repeat until all the batter is used up.

Step 9

Serve with your favorite toppings: butter, syrup, fruit or any other topping you desire.
