🛒 Ingredients (All Budget-Friendly from Walmart)

• 1 ½ cups Great Value All-Purpose Flour
• 2 Tbsp Great Value Granulated Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Great Value Baking Powder
• ¼ tsp Great Value Salt
• 1 ¼ cups Great Value Whole Milk
• 1 large Great Value Egg
• 2 Tbsp Great Value Vegetable Oil (or melted butter)
• 1 tsp Great Value Pure Vanilla Extract (optional)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, oil, and vanilla.
3. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix—small lumps are okay!
4. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This helps activate the baking powder for extra fluffiness.
5. Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease.
6. Flip: Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden brown.
7. Serve warm: Add butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.

🧈 Topping Ideas (Still Budget-Friendly)
