1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. The addition of baking soda is the hack—this will react with the acidity in the milk and make your pancakes fluffier.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should still have some lumps. Overmixing can cause dense pancakes.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Let the pancake cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
