# Components:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 3/4 cup whole milk
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ To Serve
10 - Maple syrup, honey, or milk
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing, as a few lumps are desirable.
04 - Transfer the batter to a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for controlled dispensing.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
06 - Pipe or drop small dots of batter, each about 1/2 inch in diameter, onto the heated skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
07 - Allow to cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip using a spatula or chopstick. Continue cooking for approximately 1 minute until golden.
08 - Continue with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan between batches as necessary.
09 - Serve warm in a bowl. For a cereal-style breakfast, add cold milk. Alternatively, drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries or banana slices.
