Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter For richer flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar For sprinkling on top

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  4. Remove from skillet and immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  5. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serving
  1. Serve the pancakes warm. Stack and dust with extra cinnamon sugar on top.
  2. You can add a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or chocolate for more flavor.

Notes

Mix wet and dry ingredients only until just combined. A few lumps are okay. Use a medium heat to cook pancakes evenly. For variety, add nutmeg or orange zest to the batter or top with warm chocolate sauce.
