Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons (8 grams) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 grams) salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Cooking and Serving:
- Butter, for greasing the pan
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Assemble dry ingredients by combining flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform powder blend.
- Craft a separate liquid mixture by whisking milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smoothly integrated.
- Gently merge wet and dry components, stirring with minimal agitation to maintain a slightly lumpy texture that ensures tender pancakes.
- Warm a non-stick cooking surface over medium temperature, applying a delicate butter coating to prevent potential sticking.
- Carefully ladle batter onto the heated surface, forming circular pancake shapes approximately 4 inches in diameter.
- Monitor pancake development, watching for telltale bubble formations across the surface and subtle edge solidification as indicators of optimal cooking time.
- Execute a precise flip when bottom reaches a golden-brown hue, allowing reverse side to achieve similar caramelized coloration.
- Repeat cooking process, adjusting heat and butter application to maintain consistent pancake quality.
- Plate pancakes in an attractive stack, garnishing with a generous pat of butter and cascading maple syrup for classic McDonalds-style presentation.
Notes
- Always mix wet and dry ingredients separately to prevent overmixing, which can make pancakes tough and dense.
- Use room temperature ingredients like milk and eggs for smoother batter and more even cooking.
- Rest the batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid and create fluffier pancakes.
- Test skillet temperature by dropping a small amount of water – if it sizzles, the pan is ready for perfect golden pancakes.
