Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (whole or non-dairy)
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniformly blended.
- Form a central cavity in the dry mixture, then introduce milk, whisked egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold ingredients together, allowing small lumps to remain for optimal texture.
- Heat non-stick skillet or griddle to medium temperature (around 375°F), applying a light coating of butter or oil.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake.
- Monitor pancake surface, waiting for bubbles to emerge and edges to appear slightly dry (roughly 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully flip pancake and cook opposite side until achieving a golden-brown appearance (approximately 1-2 minutes).
- Transfer cooked pancakes to serving plate, maintaining warmth.
- Embellish with preferred accompaniments such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or additional butter.
Notes
- Prevent overmixing batter to keep pancakes light and airy, stirring just until ingredients are combined to maintain fluffy texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and milk to ensure even mixing and consistent pancake quality.
- For gluten-free option, swap wheat flour with almond or oat flour, adding a pinch of xanthan gum to improve binding.
- Create flavor variations by adding mashed bananas, blueberries, or chocolate chips directly into batter for exciting breakfast twists.
