Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter plus more for greasing
Toppings (Optional)
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Whipped cream

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, and melted butter.
Cooking
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are okay and contribute to fluffiness.
  2. Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to fully activate, creating more air bubbles and a lighter texture.
