Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams) or whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon maple syrup (leave out for savory variations)
- 2.5 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt (a pinch)
- 1 cup milk (250 ml) or plant-based milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (30 grams) melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, and for the sweet variants only)
- extra butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients – milk, egg, and melted butter – and gently whisk the batter until it is nice and smooth. The batter should be slightly runny – if it feels too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
- The combined smooth batter should be slightly runny
Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour small rounds of batter (about 2 inches/5 cm in diameter) onto the skillet using a tablespoon or a squeeze bottle for precision.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 1-2 minutes
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the frying pan as needed.
