Yield: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for skillet
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
- In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Warm milk in microwave (not hot). In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet (or griddle) over medium heat.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour milk mixture into the well and use a fork to stir until clumps of flour have disappeared, do not over mix. Add batter to squeezable bottle.
- Lightly brush skillet with melted butter. Use bottle to create your pancake art. You can make animals, letters, numbers, symbols, fun designs, and more!
- When edges look dry, and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancake, turn over. This takes about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook another 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle. Serve immediately with warm syrup, butter, and berries.
