Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine dry and wet ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Cook the pancakes
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
Cut into square
Once the pancakes are cooked, cut them into squares of your desired size.
Tips
Use a nonstick pan
A nonstick pan will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and make them easier to flip.
Cook over medium heat
Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will ensure that they cook evenly and don’t burn.
Cut the pancakes while hot
Cutting the pancakes while they are still hot will make it easier to get clean cuts.
Serve with your favorite toppings
Pancake squares are delicious with any of your favorite pancake toppings, such as syrup, butter, fruit, or whipped cream.
Variations
