Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) melted butter
Sweeteners:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) sugar
- Pinch of salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather a microwave-safe ceramic mug and whisk together dry pantry staples – creating a uniform powder mixture that ensures smooth texture.
- Pour liquid ingredients into the dry components, stirring thoroughly until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency with no visible flour streaks.
- Position the mug centrally in the microwave and heat at full power for approximately 60-90 seconds, watching carefully to prevent overflow or undercooking.
- Allow the microwaved pancake to rest for 30-45 seconds, enabling internal temperature stabilization and preventing potential burns from immediate consumption.
- Carefully remove the mug, checking the cake’s structural integrity and doneness by gently pressing the center for springy resistance.
- Enhance the single-serve pancake with classic toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, dollop of whipped cream, or a pat of melted butter for added indulgence.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting sugar levels or using alternative sweeteners like honey or stevia for a personalized touch.
- Try gluten-free flour blends to make this recipe suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic flavor that elevates the basic pancake mug recipe.
- Swap whole milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version that’s equally delicious.
