Fluffy Homemade Pancakes
Description
This pancake recipe uses all-purpose flour combined with sugar, baking powder, and salt for structure and flavor. Wet ingredients of milk, egg, and melted butter are whisked together and added to the dry mixture until just blended, allowing some lumps to preserve fluffiness. The batter can be loosened slightly with more milk if too thick.
Cooking on a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, pancakes are poured in 1/3-cup portions and cooked 1 to 2 minutes per side until puffed and golden brown. The moderate heat ensures the centers cook through without the outsides burning. Butter or oil used in the pan contributes to a lightly crisp exterior while keeping the interior soft.
These pancakes are designed to be served warm with maple syrup, showcasing a classic texture and flavor without additional ingredients. Their simplicity makes them versatile for various breakfast accompaniments.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1¼ cups milk plus more as needed
- 1 egg large
- 3 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly, or neutral oil, plus more for the pan, unsalted
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are ok. If the batter is very thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen it slightly.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush lightly with butter or oil. Use a ⅓-cup scoop to pour the batter into the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through in the middle. Turn the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook through without burning the outsides.
- Serve with maple syrup.
