Step‑by‑Step: How To Make Pancake Using All Purpose Flour

Combine Dry Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. A smooth mix ensures even leavening.
Mix Wet Ingredients Separately – In another bowl, beat the egg, then stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Merge the Mixtures – Pour the wet mixture into the dry, stirring just until incorporated. A few lumps are normal; over‑mixing can make pancakes tough.
Preheat the Pan – Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat. A light dusting of oil or butter prevents sticking.
Cook the Pancakes – Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. When bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, flip with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 1‑2 minutes per side.
Keep Warm – Place finished pancakes on a plate and cover loosely with foil to stay warm while you finish the batch.
