Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • griddle or frying pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for added flavor.
