Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon extra butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with milk. Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the milk-egg mixture. Stir until combined.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a whisk or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Spread gently if needed.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes more, or until golden brown.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan if necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like honey, syrup, jam, or just a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
