- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 0.25 cup for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
