Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (240 milliliters)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30 milliliters)
Additional Ingredients:
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and oil until thoroughly integrated and slightly frothy.
- Gradually incorporate pancake mix into the liquid mixture, stirring gently until a uniform, lump-free batter forms.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle to medium heat (around 375°F), lightly coating the surface with butter to prevent sticking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, carefully pour batter onto the heated surface, creating individual pancake circles.
- Allow pancakes to cook undisturbed until small bubbles emerge across the surface and edges appear slightly firm, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Gently flip each pancake using a spatula, cooking the opposite side until achieving a rich golden-brown color, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove pancakes from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate, maintaining warmth by covering with a clean kitchen towel.
- Embellish with preferred toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar before serving immediately.
Notes
- Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help gluten relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Avoid overmixing the batter; small lumps are okay and prevent tough, dense pancakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for even browning and easy flipping.
- Try mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts for variety and extra flavor.
