Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk
Leavening Agents:
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Sift dry ingredients together in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring an even distribution of flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Whisk egg in a separate container until well-blended, then incorporate milk, melted butter, and fragrant vanilla extract.
- Gently fold wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring with minimal agitation to maintain a light, airy texture – small lumps are perfectly acceptable.
- Prepare a non-stick cooking surface over medium heat (around 375°F), lightly coating with a thin layer of butter or neutral oil.
- Carefully ladle batter onto the heated surface, creating circular pancakes approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- Monitor cooking progress, waiting for tiny bubbles to emerge and populate the pancake’s surface (about 2-3 minutes).
- Execute a precise flip, allowing the opposite side to achieve a golden-brown complexion, typically requiring an additional 1-2 minutes of cooking.
- Transfer completed pancakes to a warm serving plate, creating a stack of fluffy delights.
- Present immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or preferred complementary accompaniments.
Notes
- Achieve perfect texture by avoiding overmixing, which can develop gluten and create tough pancakes.
- Customize batter by adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices directly into the mix for variety.
- Maintain consistent heat around medium to prevent burning and ensure even golden-brown coloring.
- Create dairy-free or vegan alternatives by substituting milk with almond milk and using plant-based butter or oil.
