Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Butter or oil for greasing the skillet
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while preheating a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with desired toppings.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest helps produce fluffier pancakes.
- A dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon can enhance flavor.
- Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated later.
