Easy Basic Pancakes (my rendition)
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 2 tsps baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tbps unsalted butter (melted)
- Butter or oil for the pan or griddle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready. This will be used to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside
- In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter, and egg
- Add dry ingredients to wet; whisk until the dry ingredients are just moistened (it is critical here not to overmix the ingredients. A few small lumps are fine
- Heat a skillet or gribble on medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half and moisten it with butter or oil. Carefully rub skillet or griddle with oiled paper towel
- For each pancake spoon two to three tablespoons of batter onto the skillet or griddle
- Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake and a few have popped (about 1-2 minutes), then flip. Cook the second side for about 1-2 minutes more
- Transfer to a baking sheet; loosely cover with aluminum foil and place in warm oven
- Repeat this with the remaining batter
