Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together egg, milk and melted butter until combined.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt together until well combined.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ones, and mix well until just combined.
- Rest the batter for at least 5 mins, in the meantime, preheat a large no-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (or until it reaches 190C/375F).
- Grease the pan with a little butter. With the help of an ice cream scooper or small ladle spoon, pour the batter onto the skillet. Gently spread the batter into a small circle and cook until the edges start bubbling.
- Flip on the other side and continue to cook until golden and cooked through. Repeat until all batter has been used.
- Once all your pancakes are ready, top them up with your favourite toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
- Tips for the best pancakes:
- Do not Over Mix The Batter
- It's super important to mix the dry & wet ingredients in two separate bowls.
- Just mix all the ingredients together at the very end, to avoid the risk of over-mixing the batter.
- If you over-mix the batter the pancakes will be somehow denser and flat. Not really what you expect from a fluffy American pancakes recipe, right?
- Rest The Batter
- To get that fluffy and tender result, the batter needs to rest a little time before cooking.
- Resting the batter for a minimum of 5 min allows the gluten in it to "relax", resulting into smooth and delicious pancakes.
- Set The Right Temperature
- The next important thing to remember is to keep an eye on the temperature of the griddle when you cook your pancakes.
- The more you cook your pancakes the dryer they become, so getting the temperature right is a MUST.
- Make sure to preheat your skillet/griddle to 375F/190C.
- If your griddle doesn't have a thermometer or you use a regular non stick pan, keep your temperature to "medium" and heat for about 3 minutes before adding the batter.
- If you're not quite sure you have reached the right temperature, just test with a small pancake first and adjust the heat accordingly.
