Ingredients
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 150ml milk (whole or semi-skimmed)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, beat the egg. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with 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: Heat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter onto the pan 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.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt on top.
Enjoy!
These fluffy pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, they are sure to impress!
