Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- Butter or oil for greasing the griddle
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until smooth.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side until browned, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay and help create fluffy pancakes.
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra flavor and tenderness.
- Make a large batch and freeze extras for a quick breakfast later.
