Description

Master the art of making perfectly fluffy, golden-brown pancakes from scratch in just four simple steps! This easy-to-follow guide promises a delicious and satisfying breakfast that’s sure to become a family favorite.


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

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
