• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
2. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread it gently into a circle if needed.
3. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Serve
