# 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 for topping
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana, optional
# Directions:
01 - Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing—the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
04 - Transfer batter into a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for easy portioning.
05 - Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter.
06 - Pipe or drop small dots of batter, approximately 1/2 inch in diameter, onto the hot surface, spacing them slightly apart.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, watching for bubbles and edges to set, then flip using a spatula or chopstick. Continue cooking for another minute until golden brown.
08 - Continue with the remaining batter, re-greasing the pan as needed between batches to maintain crispness.
09 - Enjoy warm in a bowl, topped with milk, syrup, or honey, and finish with fresh fruit as desired.
