# Components:

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
11 - Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 - Gently fold wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are preferable.
04 - Transfer batter to a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for accurate portioning.
05 - Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
06 - Pipe or drop small, evenly spaced dots of batter about 1/2 inch in diameter onto the hot skillet.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles form and edges appear set. Flip each piece using a spatula or chopstick and cook for 1 additional minute until golden brown.
08 - Continue with remaining batter, regreasing the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
09 - Present warm in a bowl. Add milk for a traditional cereal experience or drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries or sliced banana as desired.
