Introduction
Pancakes are a timeless breakfast dish that has been enjoyed by people for generations. They are easy to make and incredibly versatile, making them perfect for any occasion. Whether you like them sweet or savory, pancakes are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed by everyone. In this article, we will be sharing a simple pancake recipe that you can make at home using basic ingredients.
Ingredients
To make pancakes, you will need the following ingredients: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 2 tablespoons sugar - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup milk - 1 egg - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - Cooking spray or butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. 2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. 3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. 4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter. 5. Using a ladle or measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet, making sure to leave enough space between each pancake to allow for expansion. 6. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the edges are golden brown and the surface is covered in bubbles. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and fully cooked. 7. Repeat the process until all the batter has been used up. 8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate chips.
