Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- Nonstick cooking spray or additional butter for greasing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few small lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each flapjack. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the flapjacks for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip each flapjack carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
Transfer the cooked flapjacks to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the flapjacks immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, honey, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
