Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The base for our fluffy pancakes.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Adds a hint of sweetness.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Gives the pancakes their fluffy rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Enhances fluffiness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk Dairy or dairy-free option.
  • 1 large egg Provides structure; can use flax egg for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted Adds richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
  2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be lumpy.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until a sprinkle of water sizzles on contact.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. If cooking multiple pancakes, keep them warm in an oven set to low heat.
  4. Stack the pancakes high and serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.

Notes

For variations, try adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
