Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just incorporated. A few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Letting the batter rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature can further enhance fluffiness.
- For gluten-free fluffy pancakes, use oat flour.
- For a lower-carb option, try almond or coconut flour.
