Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For Serving (Optional)
  • maple syrup
  • fresh berries
  • whipped cream

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • medium bowl
  • griddle or frying pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

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