Ingredients (makes 8\u201310 medium pancakes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 \u00bd cups (190g) all-purpose flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 \u00bd tsp baking powder (helps them rise and get fluffy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tbsp sugar (you can adjust to taste, or use honey\/maple syrup in the batter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc tsp salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 \u00bc cups (300ml) milk (room temperature)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 large egg (room temperature)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the pan)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but adds great flavor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baking powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent so the pancakes rise evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another bowl (or a large measuring jug), whisk together:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egg<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure the milk and egg are at room temperature so the butter doesn\u2019t solidify when mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Combine Batter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The batter should be slightly lumpy \u2014 that\u2019s what keeps pancakes fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not overmix, or the pancakes can turn dense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Preheat the Pan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightly grease with butter or oil (wipe off excess with a paper towel so it doesn\u2019t burn).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Cook the Pancakes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pour about \u00bc cup batter per pancake onto the hot pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook for 2\u20133 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look slightly dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1\u20132 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Serve Warm<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stack pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maple syrup or honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, peaches)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extra butter for richness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips for Perfect Pancakes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rest the batter for 5 minutes before cooking \u2014 this allows the baking powder to activate and makes fluffier pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (100\u00b0C \/ 200\u00b0F) if making a big batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For extra flavor, add \u00bd tsp cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Variations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blueberry Pancakes: Add \u00bd cup fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Stir in \u00bd cup mini chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banana Pancakes: Mash 1 ripe banana into the wet ingredients before mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
