Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter or vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Griddle or non-stick pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, and melted butter or oil.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix, as lumps are okay.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. If you don't have milk, buttermilk can be used for a tangier flavor and even softer texture.
