Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients listed in the recipe to prepare for mixing the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl to ensure an even distribution and prevent lumps.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Heat Griddle or Pan: Place a griddle or a large pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour or scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges become dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side until it is golden brown, approximately 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Serve: Remove pancakes from the griddle and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruits, or butter.
Notes
- Salt amount was reduced from the original 1 teaspoon to ¼ teaspoon based on recipe feedback; adjust to your taste.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease to prevent pancakes from sticking.
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter, which can develop gluten.
- This recipe yields about 8 pancakes.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
