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 for extra fluffiness)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup Penfood (or to taste)

For Serving:

• Maple syrup
• Fresh fruit (such as berries or banana slices)
• Whipped cream (optional)
• Additional Penfood for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the Penfood gently, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 2: Heat the Griddle

1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. To test if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; if they sizzle and evaporate, the griddle is hot enough.
2. Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

1. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Leave enough space between pancakes to allow for spreading.
2. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve

1. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.
2. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with fresh fruit. For an extra touch, add a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of Penfood on top.
