Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Provides structure and lightness.
  • 2 tsp Baking powder Creates the fluffy rise.
  • 2 tbsp Sugar Adds sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Balances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Milk Keeps pancakes moist and flavorful.
  • 1 large Egg Binds ingredients and adds richness.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Adds rich flavor and tender texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; some lumps are okay.
Cooking
  1. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh baking powder for the best rise. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness. Use a non-stick griddle for even cooking.
