This easy and quick pancake recipe is perfect for a delicious breakfast for one! Enjoy a fluffy pancake made from simple ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Cooking spray or additional oil for the pan
Instructions
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract (if using) until thoroughly combined.
-
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
-
Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
-
Cook the Pancake: Pour the batter into the skillet, forming a round pancake about 4-5 inches in diameter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
-
Flip the Pancake: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Remove the pancake from the skillet and serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts into the batter before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker pancake, you can add a little more flour to the batter.
- Enjoy your pancake with a side of yogurt or a glass of juice for a complete breakfast!
