Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups milk whole or 2%
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients. Having everything measured out before you start keeps the process smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Over-mixing can make pancakes tough.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  6. For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on top—about 2 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter.
