Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a whisk or spatula. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, and optionally add butter, fresh berries, or whipped cream as desired.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine! Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking. This helps the flour absorb the liquid and gives the baking powder time to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Perfect Cooking Temperature: Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn on the outside and remain raw inside. If it’s too cool, they won’t brown properly. Medium heat is usually ideal.
- Use a Measuring Cup: For consistent pancake sizes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: While maple syrup is a classic choice, feel free to get creative! Fresh berries, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of chocolate chips can take your pancakes to the next level.
- Keep Them Warm: If you're making multiple batches, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.Enjoy your pancake-making adventure and savor every delicious bite!
