Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
  • Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
  • For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
  • Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
  • BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.
  • YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
  • WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Use all-purpose flour for a classic pancake texture, or try a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Use buttermilk or yogurt for a tangy flavor, or use milk for a milder flavor.
  • Get the batter consistency right: The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not too thick that it's difficult to pour. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk or buttermilk. If the batter is too thin, add a little more flour.
  • Heat your pan or griddle properly: Preheat your pan or griddle over medium heat before cooking the pancakes. If the pan is not hot enough, the pancakes will not cook evenly. If the pan is too hot, the pancakes will burn.
  • Cook the pancakes evenly: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan or griddle, as this will prevent the pancakes from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot and fresh from the pan. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Making pancakes is a fun and easy way to enjoy a delicious breakfast or brunch. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect pancakes every time. So next time you're craving pancakes, don't be afraid to give it a try. You might just be surprised at how easy it is.
