Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) s all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoon (13 ml) s aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
- 1 1/4 cup (300 ml) s milk, any
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoon (45 ml) s vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) s vanilla extract, optional
Instructions
- In a big mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Create a hollow in the center and pour in the milk, egg, oil, and optional vanilla for flavor. Use a fork to first break the egg, then start mixing the flour from the bowl’s edges inward until the mixture is mostly smooth.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, grease it with oil, spray, or melt some butter on the surface. If you’re using an electric griddle, set it between 300 and 350°F.
- Quickly pour ¼ cup of the pancake mixture onto the greased surface. Cook the pancakes for about 2 minutes until the edges start to firm up and bubbles appear. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional minute on the opposite side. Refrain from pressing down on the pancakes after flipping, as this will make them dense and chewy and cause uncooked batter to spill out. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you prepare the remaining batter.
- Arrange the pancakes on a plate and add your favorite toppings and syrups.
Notes
- Mix the pancake batter gently to achieve a fluffy texture with a few lumps for best results.
- Enhance the flavor by adding vanilla extract to the batter for a subtle sweetness.
- Try using different types of milk to explore varied flavors and textures in your pancakes.
