Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Gives the pancakes their structure; swap with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option.
- 2 tablespoons sugar Adds a hint of sweetness; you can reduce for less sugar!
- 2 teaspoons baking powder Creates that fluffy rise; very important!
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness; don't skip this!
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk Makes the batter smooth; use any milk type you prefer.
- 1 large egg Binds everything together; flaxseed or applesauce can substitute.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter Adds richness; can replace with oil for a lighter touch.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses delightful flavor; it's optional but tasty!
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather your ingredients and cooking tools: a mixing bowl, whisk, and griddle or skillet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk to blend everything together.
Cooking
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. It's okay if some lumps remain!
- Heat your skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly. Spoon batter onto the hot surface, about 1/4 cup per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Serving
- Stack those beautiful pancakes on a plate and let your creative juices flow with toppings.
- Drench them in warm maple syrup, scatter fresh berries, or even top with a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy every fluffy bite!
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter. Let pancakes cool completely before storing to maintain their fluffiness. You can customize with dietary needs and enjoy with eggs or fruit salad.
