Here's a simple recipe to make delicious pancakes:
Ingredients: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons sugar - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup milk - 1 large egg - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted - Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions: 1. *Whisk Dry Ingredients*: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. 2. *Whisk Wet Ingredients*: Whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter in a large bowl. 3. *Combine*: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy. 4. *Rest*: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid. 5. *Heat Pan*: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or oil. 6. *Drop Batter*: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the pan. 7. *Cook*: Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry. 8. *Flip*: Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. 9. *Serve*: Serve the pancake hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips: - Use fresh ingredients, including real butter and pure vanilla extract, for the best flavor. - Don't overmix the batter, as this can create tough pancakes. - Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. - Keep the pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the remaining batter.
