Pancakes
pancakes, a beloved breakfast favorite!
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if desired). Mix until just blended; it is acceptable for the batter to remain slightly lumpy.
3. Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. The surface is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
4. Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Serve Warm: Enjoy the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or your preferred toppings.
