Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Sugar granulated
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
For Cooking and Serving
- 1 tbsp Butter for greasing the pan
- 1 Banana for serving (optional), sliced
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Or Honey for serving
Instructions
Make the Pancake Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent texture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes. A few lumps are okay.
Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. You'll know it's ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Serve
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Stack them high and top with your favorite toppings, such as sliced bananas, maple syrup, honey, or whipped cream.

Expert Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax.
- Don't overmix the batter. A few lumps are okay and will prevent the pancakes from becoming tough.
- Adjust the heat as needed. The first pancake is often a test; you might need to lower the heat slightly for subsequent batches.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until warmed through.
