Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp sugar (optional)

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

Butter or oil (for cooking)

Optional: fruit (e.g., blueberries, bananas) or spices (e.g., cinnamon)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).

In another bowl, beat eggs and mix in milk.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat; grease lightly with butter or oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.

Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2–3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden.

Keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve with desired toppings.

Notes

For a lighter texture, beat egg whites separately and fold them into the batter.

Use whole wheat, buckwheat, or gluten-free flour for variation.

Mix in blueberries, bananas, or chocolate chips for extra flavor.

Reheat leftovers in the toaster or oven to maintain texture.

Store in fridge up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month.
