Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • griddle or frying pan

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

For Cooking

  • Q.S. butter or oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until thoroughly blended.

Mixing

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; it's okay if there are some lumps.

Cooking

  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and contribute to a tender pancake. Adjust the amount of milk slightly if the batter is too thick or too thin to achieve a pourable consistency.
