Delightful easy pancakes bring comfort and joy to breakfast tables everywhere. Fluffy golden discs drizzled with maple syrup promise a morning treat you'll savor with pure culinary happiness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cupall-purpose flour
  • 1 largeegg
  • 1 cupmilk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoonssugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoonsbaking powder
  • ¼ teaspoonsalt
  • 2 tablespoonsmelted butter (or vegetable oil for dairy-free option)

Directions

  1. 1

    Craft a fluffy pancake foundation by thoroughly combining the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—in a medium mixing vessel using a whisk to eliminate potential lumps.

  2. 2

    Separately, create a liquid mixture by whisking the egg, milk, and melted butter until smoothly integrated and uniform in texture.

  3. 3

    Gently unite the wet and dry ingredients, stirring with minimal manipulation to preserve the batter’s delicate structure. Expect a slightly uneven consistency with small irregular clusters—this indicates a perfect blend.

  4. 4

    Evaluate batter thickness, incorporating additional milk if the mixture appears excessively dense, ensuring a pourable yet substantial consistency.

  5. 5

    Prepare a non-stick cooking surface over medium thermal intensity, lightly coating with butter or oil to prevent adherence.

  6. 6

    Dispense approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake sufficient space for expansion.

  7. 7

    Monitor the pancake’s surface for emerging bubble formations, which signal the optimal moment for transformation. After approximately 2-3 minutes, execute a precise flip.

  8. 8

    Continue cooking the inverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown complexion that indicates complete culinary development.

  9. 9

    Transfer the finished pancakes to a serving plate, artfully stacking them and embellishing with preferred accompaniments like maple syrup, fresh berries, or a luxurious butter garnish.
