Classic American Pancakes

Classic American pancakes are a popular breakfast dish that are easy to make at home. The recipe typically includes all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract. The dry ingredients are combined with the wet ingredients until just combined and then cooked on a non-stick skillet or griddle for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. They are typically served warm with butter, syrup, or your favourite toppings.
