# What you'll need:
→ 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

# Method:
01 - Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until integrated.
03 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are acceptable.
04 - Transfer the batter to a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or use a teaspoon for dispensing.
05 - Preheat 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 each slightly apart.
07 - Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until bubbles appear and edges are set, then flip gently with a spatula or chopstick. Cook for another minute until golden brown.
08 - Continue with remaining batter, re-greasing the skillet as needed for optimal browning.
09 - Present warm in a bowl, accompanied by milk, syrup, or fruit as desired.
