1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
