Ingredients
  

Pancake Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for greasing
Optional Toppings
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped cream

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
Cooking
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Do not overmix the batter; lumps are fine and contribute to a tender pancake. Adjust the amount of milk as needed to reach desired batter consistency.
