Create Perfect Homemade Pancakes Every Time

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions:

1. Whisk dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
4. Rest the batter: Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
5. Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil.
6. Cook the pancakes: Drop the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry. Flip and cook the other side.
7. Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes:

• Use the right pan: Use a non-stick pan or griddle to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
• Don’t overmix: Don’t overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
• Use the right heat: Use medium heat to cook the pancakes. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn before they’re fully cooked.
• Don’t overcrowd: Cook the pancakes in batches if necessary, to prevent overcrowding the pan.
