Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups Cola (carbonated soft drink)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Then add the cola, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the egg, and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently whisk them together until just combined. Take care not to overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use a ladle or measuring cup for even-sized pancakes.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by placing them under foil or in a low-temperature oven while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the Cola Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
