To start, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don't overmix the batter, as this will result in tough pancakes. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken up.
To give your pancakes a festive twist, add in 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg to the dry ingredients. You can also add in ¼ cup of molasses for an extra kick of flavor. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top.
For a decadent and indulgent breakfast, add ¼ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and ¼ cup of crushed candy canes to the dry ingredients. Top with whipped cream and more crushed candy canes for a delicious peppermint hot cocoa pancake experience.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with your desired toppings and enjoy!
