Homemade Pancakes

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Yield: Approximately 12 pancakes

Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Mix Batter:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
4. Preheat Pan:
   • Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. If using a pan, make sure it is well-heated before cooking.
5. Grease Pan:
   • Lightly coat the cooking surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
6. Cook Pancakes:
   • For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle or pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
7. Flip Pancakes:
   • Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown.
8. Repeat:
   • Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, adding more cooking spray or butter to the pan as needed.
9. Keep Warm:
   • If serving the pancakes in batches, keep them warm in a preheated oven (200°F or 95°C) until ready to serve.
10. Serve:
    • Serve the homemade pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
11. Enjoy!
    • Enjoy these light and fluffy homemade pancakes for a delightful breakfast or brunch.

Note:

Feel free to customize your pancakes by adding ingredients like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the batter before cooking. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
