Ingredients
  

Pancake Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • griddle or frying pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are fine.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of milk for desired batter consistency.
