Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1.25 cups (300 ml) milk (any type)
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2.5 teaspoons (12.5 ml) baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
Enhancing Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients through a fine-mesh sieve into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform, lump-free foundation for your pancake batter.
- Whisk in liquid components – milk, egg, liquefied butter, and aromatic vanilla – blending until a smooth, silky mixture forms without overmixing.
- Prepare a non-stick cooking surface over medium heat, lightly coating with a thin layer of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Ladle batter onto the heated surface, allowing approximately 1/4 cup per pancake, creating uniform circular shapes.
- Monitor cooking surface carefully, waiting for telltale bubbles to emerge across the pancake’s surface and edges to appear slightly firm, typically around 2 minutes.
- Gently flip each pancake using a spatula, cooking the reverse side until golden brown, approximately 1 minute.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warm plate, maintaining temperature and preventing cooling.
- Adorn with preferred garnishes such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar, creating a delectable breakfast masterpiece.
Notes
- Prevent lumpy batter by sifting dry ingredients and whisking wet ingredients separately before combining gently to maintain fluffy texture.
- Use room temperature milk and eggs for smoother, more consistent pancake batter that integrates ingredients evenly.
- Test griddle temperature with a few water droplets; if they sizzle and dance, the surface is perfectly heated for golden pancakes.
- For dietary variations, swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend or add mashed banana for natural sweetness and healthier alternative.
