Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 teaspoons (12 grams) baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon (3 grams) salt
  • 1 tablespoon (12 grams) sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1.25 cups (296 milliliters) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) butter, melted

Flavor Enhancer:

  • 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Blend dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar—through a fine-mesh sieve into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring smooth, lump-free mixture.
  2. Craft a central depression in the powdery landscape, then cascade milk, cracked egg, liquefied butter, and aromatic vanilla extract into the hollow.
  3. Puncture the egg’s golden center with a fork, then tenderly merge ingredients using sweeping circular motions, maintaining a delicate touch to preserve potential textural irregularities.
  4. Activate a non-stick cooking surface over medium-high thermal intensity, targeting 300-350°F for optimal pancake emergence.
  5. Anoint the heated terrain with a whisper-thin butter coating or culinary lubricant spray to prevent adhesion.
  6. Dispense batter in precise quarter-cup dollops, allowing each pancake generous personal space on the cooking plane.
  7. Monitor for telltale bubble formations and slightly hardened perimeter—approximately two minutes—signaling readiness for transformation.
  8. Execute a graceful single-motion flip, allowing an additional minute of golden caramelization without compressing the delicate structure.
  9. Migrate completed pancakes to a temperature-conserving platform, maintaining their pristine warmth and ethereal texture.
  10. Elevate the culinary experience by adorning your golden stacks with decadent embellishments: maple nectar, creamy butter, vibrant fruit medley, or indulgent chocolate morsels.

Notes

  • Prevent Overmixing: Gently combine ingredients to maintain air pockets, ensuring pancakes remain light and fluffy during cooking.
  • Temperature Control: Use medium-high heat to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning, allowing even cooking throughout the pancake.
  • Batter Consistency: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help flour absorb liquid and create softer texture.
  • Dietary Adaptations: Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free blend or whole wheat flour for alternative nutritional profiles and dietary needs.
