Vanilla Essence Pancakes with a Twist

These fluffy pancakes are infused with a rich vanilla essence that elevates their flavor profile. The balance between the traditional pancake texture and a hint of creativity makes them perfect for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy them topped with fresh fruits or a drizzle of maple syrup for a delightful start to your day.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (for fluffiness)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla essence.
3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
5. Pour 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.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruits, yogurt, or maple syrup.
