Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the griddle)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk and melted butter until blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the hot griddle for each griddle cake. Leave some space between the pancakes to allow for spreading.
Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form across the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the griddle cakes and cook the other side until golden brown, an additional 2-3 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
