Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Traditional Bowl Method
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- Add milk, melted butter, and an egg. Whisk for 2-3 minutes, or until the flour disappears and ingredients are well-combined.
- Put a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each one.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the top and the edges look set. Flip pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and springy when pressed. Serve immediately.
Jar Shake Method
- Pour in milk, melted butter, and an egg into a large mason jar or airtight container. Shake to combine.
- Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Secure lid tightly.
- Shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds, or just until a well-combined batter forms. Cook as directed above, pouring the batter straight from the jar onto the preheated pan.
Notes
- Don’t overmix your batter: Overmixing will make your pancakes dense and tough. Small lumps in your batter will smooth out as they cook.
- Use melted butter: Cold butter won’t combine well. Melt in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. If you’re using the traditional method, mix it in last to stop it from seizing up.
