Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour – for a light, fluffy texture, though whole wheat flour is a great substitute for a healthier option.
2 tablespoons granulated sugar – the sweet touch; brown sugar can replace it for caramel notes.
2 teaspoons baking powder – to lift your pancakes to fluffy perfection, baking soda can also work if you reduce the baking powder.
1/2 teaspoon salt – balance is key, and sea salt can elevate the flavor even further.
1 cup milk – buttermilk is a fantastic alternative, making your pancakes even richer!
1 large egg – binds the mixture together; flaxseed eggs or applesauce can substitute for a vegan-friendly option.
2 tablespoons melted butter – adds richness; coconut oil is a great dairy-free alternative.
Maple syrup and fresh fruits for serving – feel free to get creative with toppings like nuts or whipped cream!
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure that all dry ingredients are evenly combined to avoid lumps in your batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. This step is crucial for ensuring an even texture in your pancakes.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Do not over-mix, as this can lead to dense pancakes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. To check if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; if they dance and evaporate, it’s time to start cooking.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Time to stack those pancakes on a plate! Serve warm with maple syrup and your choice of fresh fruits.
