Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg
- 1 ¼ cups (296 ml) milk
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsps (17 g) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (12 g) white sugar
- ¼ tsp (1 g) salt, or more to taste
Instructions
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl, ensuring uniform distribution and aeration of the dry components.
- Liquid Element Preparation: Whisk egg, milk, and melted butter in a separate vessel until a cohesive, smooth liquid mixture forms with consistent texture.
- Batter Creation: Gently merge liquid ingredients into dry mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a slightly lumpy consistency that guarantees tender, fluffy pancakes.
- Surface Preparation: Preheat non-stick griddle or pan to medium-high temperature, lightly greasing with cooking oil or butter to prevent adhesion and promote golden caramelization.
- Temperature Verification: Confirm cooking surface readiness by sprinkling water droplets; quick evaporation indicates optimal heat level for pancake cooking.
- Batter Deployment: Pour measured batter onto heated surface, allowing sufficient spacing between pancakes for effortless maneuvering and even cooking.
- Cooking and Flipping: Monitor pancake surface for emerging bubbles and slightly dried edges, then gracefully flip using a wide spatula to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration on both sides.
- Completion and Serving: Continue cooking remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary, and plate immediately with desired accompaniments like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Minimize Mixing: Stir batter gently to keep pancakes tender, allowing small lumps to remain for light, fluffy texture.
- Check Pan Temperature: Ensure medium-high heat with water droplet test – drops should sizzle and evaporate quickly for perfect golden pancakes.
- Space Pancakes Wisely: Leave enough room between pancakes for easy flipping and even cooking.
- Watch Cooking Signals: Look for small surface bubbles and slightly dried edges as key indicators for perfect flipping time.
