Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) melted butter
- 1 1/2 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp (17.5 ml) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (15 g) sugar
- 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) salt
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring even distribution of flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt through gentle whisking.
- Create a separate mixture of liquid components, blending milk, egg, liquefied butter, and vanilla extract until harmoniously integrated.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring with minimal agitation to prevent overmixing – some small lumps are acceptable and desirable.
- Prepare a non-stick skillet or griddle, warming it to medium heat (approximately 375°F) and applying a delicate layer of cooking spray or butter.
- Ladle batter onto heated surface, allowing approximately 14 cup per pancake, and observe surface carefully as small bubbles emerge across the pancake’s landscape.
- Once bubbles populate the entire surface and edges appear slightly matte, carefully execute a precise flip using a wide spatula.
- Cook reverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-bronze complexion, ensuring uniform cooking and appetizing visual appeal.
- Transfer completed pancakes to a warming plate, maintaining temperature and preventing sogginess, then embellish with preferred accompaniments like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Whisk ingredients gently to avoid overmixing, which can make pancakes tough and dense.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and more even cooking.
- Let batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow flour to absorb liquid and create lighter texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour and add extra baking powder to maintain fluffiness.
