INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or adjust to taste)
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 egg
INSTRUCTIONS
- Get ready to enjoy the simplicity and scrumptiousness of these classic Good Old-Fashioned Pancakes. Start by sifting together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl to combine the dry ingredients evenly. Then, create a well in the center of the dry mixture and add in the milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Next, heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan over medium-high heat—it’s time to cook! Pour or scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, letting it spread naturally. Keep an eye out for bubbles forming on the surface and the edges drying slightly—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Now, it’s time to flip! Once the underside is golden brown, gently turn the pancake over and cook until the other side is perfectly browned.
- As you continue to cook the remaining batter, watch as each pancake transforms into a fluffy golden delight. These pancakes are now ready to be topped with your favorite fixings or enjoyed as is. So, fire up your griddle and serve up a plateful of pure breakfast joy!
Notes: The salt has been reduced to ¼ teaspoon based on feedback—originally, the recipe called for 1 teaspoon.
