Ingredients
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat for a healthier option.
- 2 tablespoons sugar Consider using coconut sugar for a deeper flavor.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the pancakes rise beautifully.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Works with baking powder for perfect fluffiness.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
- 1 cup milk Dairy or non-dairy options like almond or oat milk work well.
- 1 large egg Binds the ingredients and adds richness.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter Can substitute with vegetable oil or coconut oil.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—lumps are okay!
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For better flavor, consider adding blueberries, nuts, or spices. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or frozen with parchment paper between pancakes.
