Ingredients
For the Pancake Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil for dairy-free option)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
-
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter (or oil).
-
-
Mix the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine—don’t overmix!
-
Add a little extra milk if the batter is too thick.
-
-
Cook the Pancakes:
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
-
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
-
-
Serve & Enjoy:
-
Stack the pancakes and serve with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.

Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and airy.
- Adjust the heat of the pan so it’s not too hot or too cold for the pancakes to cook properly.
- Keep them warm by placing them in a low oven (200°F) while cooking the rest
