Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Optional Flavor Enhancer:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sift dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar—into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform blend of powdery components.
- Gently incorporate wet ingredients—milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla—into the dry mixture, stirring with minimal agitation to maintain a slightly lumpy texture.
- Warm a non-stick cooking surface over medium heat, applying a delicate layer of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Carefully ladle batter onto the heated surface, creating circular pools approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- Monitor pancakes as tiny bubbles emerge across the surface, signaling the optimal moment for transformation.
- Skillfully flip each pancake using a wide spatula, revealing a golden-brown landscape and cooking the reverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a heated plate, preserving their warmth and pillowy texture.
- Elevate the culinary experience by adorning with luxurious toppings: pure maple syrup, softened butter, seasonal berries, or whipped cream.
- Serve immediately, embracing the ephemeral perfection of freshly crafted breakfast delight.
Notes
- Add a splash of buttermilk or yogurt for extra tanginess and tender texture, replacing some regular milk for richer flavor.
- Experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour blends to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising fluffy texture.
- Separate egg whites and whip them separately before folding into batter for incredibly light and airy pancakes that practically float off the plate.
- Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to hydrate, resulting in more even and smoother pancake surfaces.
