Pancakes Recipe

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center. 2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg until well combined. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Add the melted unsalted butter. Stir everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay. 4. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the baking powder to activate for fluffier pancakes.

Cooking

1. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush with butter or oil. 2. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through. 4. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.
