Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients (Base):
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) milk
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
Dry Seasonings and Leavening Agents:
- 4 tablespoons (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, blending flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until uniformly distributed.
- Create a central well in the dry mixture, allowing space for liquid components.
- Carefully pour milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and cracked egg into the center of the dry ingredients.
- Delicately whisk the contents, maintaining a gentle motion to incorporate all elements smoothly. Embrace minor lumps for optimal texture.
- Adjust batter consistency by incorporating additional milk if the mixture appears overly dense.
- Prepare a nonstick cooking surface by heating it to medium-low temperature and lightly greasing with butter.
- Ladle approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the heated surface, using smooth circular motions to shape into a perfect round.
- Monitor pancake development, observing for emerging bubbles and golden-brown edges as indicators of readiness.
- Execute a precise flip using a spatula, revealing the caramelized underside and allowing the alternate side to achieve an equally rich, golden hue.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, maintaining consistent temperature and technique.
- Present the light, airy pancakes adorned with maple syrup, honey, or an assortment of fresh fruits for a delightful morning indulgence.
Notes
- Check ingredients are room temperature for better mixing and smoother batter consistency.
- Avoid overmixing pancake batter to prevent tough, dense pancakes that lack fluffiness.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster or microwave for crispy edges.
