Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to distribute the leavening agents and seasonings evenly.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes; lumps are okay.
- Use melted butter for richer flavor, but you can substitute with vegetable oil if desired.
- Serve pancakes warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
- Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
