Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • griddle
  • ladle

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are okay.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, spacing them apart.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Adjust the milk quantity if the batter is too thick or too thin for your preference. You can substitute regular milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor and softer texture.
