Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to ensure the leavening agents and seasoning are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and oil. Mix until well combined to create a smooth liquid mixture.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined; the batter should remain slightly lumpy and not overmixed to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour batter to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, then flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Use oil or butter to grease the skillet for better flavor and nonstick performance.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook thoroughly.
- Serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of choice.
