Recipe series: Traditional homemade pancakes
Homemade pancakes are a classic breakfast staple that never goes out of style. There's something so comforting about a stack of fluffy, warm pancakes drizzled with maple syrup. Plus, making pancakes from scratch is easier than you might think. Here's a recipe for traditional homemade pancakes that will have you flipping perfect pancakes in no time.
- Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg until light and fluffy. Then, add the milk and melted butter and stir until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough, rubbery pancakes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet. Cook until the edges of the pancake start to look dry and the surface begins to bubble, then flip and cook for another minute or so on the other side. Repeat until all the batter has been used.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, or fruit.
- Tips for perfect pancakes:
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easier flipping.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough pancakes. It's okay if there are some lumps in the batter.
- To keep the pancakes warm while cooking, place them on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven.
- Experiment with different toppings, such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts, for a fun twist on the classic pancake.
There you have it - a simple recipe for traditional homemade pancakes that's sure to please. Enjoy!
