Fluffy Vanilla Pancakes with Fresh Cream and Fruits

1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder (1 tablespoon), and salt (½ teaspoon) until well combined.

2In a separate bowl, mix the milk (1 cup), egg (1 large), melted butter, and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until smooth.

3Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

5Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

6Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

7Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

8Serve the pancakes stacked high, topped with fresh fruits and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
