Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
Dry Seasonings and Leavening:
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Fats and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil for dairy-free option)
Instructions
- Craft a fluffy pancake foundation by thoroughly combining the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—in a medium mixing vessel using a whisk to eliminate potential lumps.
- Separately, create a liquid mixture by whisking the egg, milk, and melted butter until smoothly integrated and uniform in texture.
- Gently unite the wet and dry ingredients, stirring with minimal manipulation to preserve the batter’s delicate structure. Expect a slightly uneven consistency with small irregular clusters—this indicates a perfect blend.
- Evaluate batter thickness, incorporating additional milk if the mixture appears excessively dense, ensuring a pourable yet substantial consistency.
- Prepare a non-stick cooking surface over medium thermal intensity, lightly coating with butter or oil to prevent adherence.
- Dispense approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake sufficient space for expansion.
- Monitor the pancake’s surface for emerging bubble formations, which signal the optimal moment for transformation. After approximately 2-3 minutes, execute a precise flip.
- Continue cooking the inverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown complexion that indicates complete culinary development.
- Transfer the finished pancakes to a serving plate, artfully stacking them and embellishing with preferred accompaniments like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a luxurious butter garnish.
Notes
- Adjust batter consistency by adding milk gradually to achieve the perfect pour and fluffy texture.
- Minimize mixing to prevent tough, dense pancakes; embrace small lumps for tender results.
- Rest batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to hydrate and create softer pancakes.
- Experiment with alternative flours like whole wheat or gluten-free blends for dietary diversity.
