  • Method: Griddle/Frying
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon white sugar

¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

1 ¼ cups milk

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 large egg

Instructions

Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. This ensures even distribution of the baking powder for fluffy pancakes.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add milk, melted butter, and the egg. Stir until smooth but avoid overmixing—some small lumps are okay.

Lightly oil your griddle or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat. Test the heat by sprinkling water on the surface; if it sizzles and evaporates, it’s ready.

Pour or scoop ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve immediately with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Add-ins: Customize your pancakes by adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or sliced bananas.

Vegan Version: Swap the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and butter for a dairy-free version.

Extra Flavor: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a subtle boost of flavor.
