Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter plus more for greasing
For Serving
  • syrup optional
  • berries optional

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • griddle or frying pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are okay.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat; pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, flipping only three times for maximum fluffiness.
  3. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Ensure your griddle is not too hot to prevent burning the outside before the inside cooks through. Dont press down on the pancakes with your spatula when flipping them.
