Description
Fluffy, golden pancakes made with simple pantry staples, perfect for a comforting breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg with the milk and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup or fresh fruit.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. You can substitute buttermilk for regular milk for a tangy flavor.
