Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder For fluffiness
  • 1 tbsp sugar Enhances sweetness
  • ½ tsp salt Balances the sweetness
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups milk Preferably room temperature
  • 1 piece egg Room temperature
  • 3 tbsp melted butter For richness
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Lumps are okay!
Cooking

  2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, sift your flour and use room temperature ingredients. Ensure to preheat your pan for a perfect golden color. Optional: Add buttermilk for tang and fluffiness, or mix in chocolate chips or nuts for variety.
