Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup milk
-
2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
-
1 large egg
Instructions
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg.
-
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
-
Cook: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter is the most common mistake and leads to tough, flat pancakes. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Rest the Batter: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes allows the baking powder to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
Test the Heat: Your pan is ready when a few drops of water sizzle and evaporate immediately.
Keep Them Warm: Keep cooked pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C) while you finish the batch.
