Recipe Information

• Servings: 4
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• For the pancakes:
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
• Optional toppings:
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced bananas

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter, mixing until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes while you preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Add a small amount of butter to coat the skillet. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the batter, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the batter at the end.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
• Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for variety.
