CLASSIC PANCAKE

by

Ingredients:

  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with butter or oil if desired.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries.

Tips:

  • You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or fruits to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F or 93°C) while you cook the rest.

Enjoy your fluffy pancakes!
