Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 piece large egg
- 4 tablespoons margarine or butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 4 tablespoons margarine (for serving)
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, water, egg, melted margarine or butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil or margarine.
Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan to form a round pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter, greasing the pan as necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with a pat of margarine on top and a generous sprinkle of granulated sugar. Optional: Add syrup or fruit if desired.
