Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 large egg lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly

Equipment

• Mixing Bowl
• Whisk
• Griddle or non-stick skillet
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Spatula

Method

 

1. Measure and sift the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar—into a large mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution.
   
2. Pour the milk into a separate bowl and add the lightly beaten egg; whisk briefly to combine.
   
3. Add the melted butter to the wet ingredients and stir until well incorporated, then pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.
   
4. Gently stir the batter with a spoon or spatula just until combined; a few lumps are okay—do not overmix, as this can deflate the batter.
   
5. Preheat the griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot, about 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease with butter or spray pan with cooking spray.
   
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
   
7. Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
   
8. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place on a plate. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
   

And just like that, you’ve got a stack of fluffy, irresistible pancakes to start your day on a high note! For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some fresh berries or whipped cream on top before digging in. Don’t forget to share your pancake photos or tweaks—I’d love to hear what fun toppings you try!
