Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.25 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons additional butter or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Once the griddle is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each griddlecake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the griddlecakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
