Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients to ensure you have everything ready before starting.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and melted butter, stirring until well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy; some lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from skillet and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or extra butter.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Do not overmix the batter; this prevents tough pancakes.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy cooking and flipping.
- Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes.
