Total includes a 5-minute batter rest. Makes about 12 pancakes, 3 per serving.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon neutral oil, plus more as needed for the pan

Instructions

1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a second bowl, whisk milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.
2. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined; small lumps are fine. Rest the batter for 5 minutes.
3. Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake, leaving room to flip.
4. Cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles appear and the edges look set. Flip and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until the centers are cooked through. Repeat, adjusting the heat if pancakes brown too quickly.
