Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
- 1 egg
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Fat and Flavor:
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a spacious mixing bowl until thoroughly integrated.
- In a separate vessel, vigorously beat the egg, then incorporate milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly blended.
- Gently cascade wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to create a slightly lumpy batter – overmixing will compromise pancake texture.
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet to medium heat (approximately 375°F), lightly coating surface with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Ladle batter onto hot surface, creating circular formations roughly 4 inches in diameter, allowing pancakes to cook until distinctive bubbles emerge across the surface.
- When bubble formations become consistent and edges appear matte, carefully flip pancakes using a broad spatula, cooking reverse side until achieving a golden-brown complexion.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warming plate, maintaining temperature and preventing sogginess while completing subsequent batches.
- Present immediately with preferred accompaniments such as maple syrup, fresh seasonal berries, whipped cream, or a delicate butter pat for enhanced flavor profile.
Notes
- Rest the batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid and create fluffier pancakes.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and consistent texture throughout the batter.
- Swap all-purpose flour with whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives for different dietary needs without compromising taste.
- add more milk for thinner pancakes or more flour for thicker ones.
