Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan
Prep Time:
- Preparation time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: 15 minutes
- Total time: 25 minutes
Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
3. Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
4. Cook the Pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
