Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter
Leavening Agents:
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sift and blend the dry components in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform texture without overmixing.
- In a separate container, thoroughly amalgamate the liquid ingredients, creating a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Gently integrate the wet elements into the dry constituents, using delicate circular motions until barely incorporated – some small lumps are acceptable.
- Prepare a griddle or non-stick pan by heating to medium temperature (around 375°F), lightly coating the surface with a thin layer of cooking lubricant.
- Carefully dispense the batter onto the heated surface, allowing approximately 14 cup per pancake, and observe as tiny air pockets emerge across the upper landscape.
- When bubbles consistently populate the pancake’s surface and edges appear slightly matte, execute a precise flip using a wide spatula.
- Continue cooking the reverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-bronze complexion.
- Transfer the completed pancakes to a warming plate, maintaining a consistent temperature to preserve their pillowy texture.
- Present immediately, accompanied by rich maple syrup, softened butter, fresh berries, or preferred complementary garnishes.
Notes
- For ultra-fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense results.
- Separate egg whites and whip them separately, then fold gently into the batter for extra lift and airiness.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid and create softer texture.
- Customize by adding mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts directly into the batter for varied flavor profiles.
