Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and sweetness.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and milk together until fully combined to create a consistent wet batter base.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir lightly until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffy pancake texture.
- Preheat and Grease Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and encourage even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Use fresh baking powder for optimal rise.
- Adjust milk quantity slightly if batter is too thick or thin.
- Serve immediately with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
