Easy Pancake Recipe for One

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are incorporated.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake 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 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
