Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Large skillet or griddle
Ingredients
- 160 grams plain flour (1⅓ cups)
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 240 milliliters milk (1 cup)
- 1 large egg
- 56 grams butter melted (4 tablespoons)
- Butter or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk together until well combined. (It's okay if there are a few small lumps in the batter. This helps make fluffier pancakes!
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, rub with butter or oil to lightly grease the pan.
- Working in batches, add about 60ml (¼ cup) of batter for each pancake into the oiled skillet.
- Cook for a few minutes until golden on the bottom and bubbles start to appear on the top, then flip over and cook an additional minute or until golden brown. Continue oiling the skillet between each new batch of pancakes. Serve hot with butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Measure ingredients precisely. Precision in measuring is key to perfect consistency. Too much flour will make your pancakes dense, and too little will cause them to come out too thin.
- Avoid overmixing. Aim for a batter with small lumps. Overmixing can result in gluten development, making the pancakes tough instead of fluffy.
- Rest the batter. Allowing your batter to rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes gives the flour time to absorb the liquid, resulting in lighter pancakes.
- Use a non-stick pan. A good non-stick skillet or griddle reduces the need for excessive butter or oil, allowing the pancakes to cook evenly without sticking.
- Moderate the heat. Keeping your pan at medium heat ensures that the pancakes cook through without burning on the outside.
- Flip at the right time. Wait until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set before flipping. This ensures the pancakes are ready to be turned over and cooked evenly on the second side.
- Keep pancakes warm. If serving all at once, keep cooked pancakes in a warm oven (about 200°F or 90°C) on a baking sheet or plate covered with foil until ready to serve.
