Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1.25 cups milk plus more as needed
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly, or neutral oil
For Cooking and Serving
  • As needed butter or oil for the pan
  • As needed Maple syrup for serving

Equipment

  • nonstick skillet

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are acceptable. If the batter is very thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen it slightly.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve with maple syrup.

Notes

Making these pancakes from scratch creates a comforting meal. Remember that the texture is best when you mix the wet and dry ingredients only until they are just combined; do not overmix the batter.
