Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Mix the Batter
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Preheat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter or cooking spray.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Keep Warm
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
Step 7: Serve
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest longer (up to 10 minutes).
- You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for added flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet.
Enjoy your delicious Cafe Delites pancakes! Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch with family and friends.
