Ingredients
  

Pancake Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 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, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine. For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
