Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter (or oil).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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
