Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Griddle or non-stick pan
- Ladle or measuring cup
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk any type works, but whole milk will give you a richer taste
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Toppings (optional):
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries blueberries, strawberries, etc.
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
Prepare the dry ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.
Mix the wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, and nobody wants that!
Heat the griddle or pan:
- Preheat your griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Lightly grease it with a little butter or cooking spray.
Cook the pancakes:
- Once the griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Serve:
- Stack your pancakes on a plate and top them with your favorite toppings like syrup, berries, whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy your homemade stack of fluffiness!
