Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or coconut milk for a tropical twist)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: sliced bananas, mangoes, or a drizzle of honey or syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
-
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture 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. This allows the baking powder to activate and will result in fluffier pancakes.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot 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: Serve
-
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as sliced bananas, mangoes, or a drizzle of honey or syrup.
Enjoy!
These Pinoy pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle. They are fluffy, slightly sweet, and perfect for any time of day. Enjoy your delicious Filipino-style pancakes with family and friends!
