Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces jarred baby food (any fruit or vegetable flavor of your choice)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the jarred baby food, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread gently, if needed, to form a circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dollop of extra jarred baby food for added flavor!
