Butteror pure maple syrup, or other toppings, for serving
Instructions
Place rack in center of oven and preheat to 200 degrees F. Have a large baking sheet or pan on hand. Heat a large, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large measuring cup or another medium mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, canola oil, and vanilla.
Add egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir with a fork just till moistened (batter should be lumpy).
Once the skillet is properly heated (do not add the batter when the skillet is cold), lightly grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet. Cook about 2 minutes on each side, until the pancakes are golden brown. When the batter forms a bubbly surface and the edges are dry, it is time to flip. Turn to the second side and cook until golden. Remove to a baking pan and place in the preheated oven to keep warm until ready to serve. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with butter, pure maple syrup, or any other topping you fancy.
