Ingredients
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- No milk → use oat milk or almond milk
- No vegetable oil → melted butter works for richer flavor
- Want sweeter pancakes → add an extra teaspoon of sugar
- No baking powder → pancakes will be flatter, but still tasty
Instructions
- Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk briefly so everything is evenly combined.
- Crack in the egg, then pour in the milk and oil.
- Tip: Don’t overmix — a few small lumps help keep pancakes fluffy.
- Stir until you get a thick, smooth batter that slowly drops off the spoon.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.
- Spoon small rounds of batter into the pan, leaving space between them.
- Cook for about 1–2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip gently and cook another 1 minute until golden and soft.
- Tip: If pancakes brown too fast, lower the heat — gentle cooking keeps them tender.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm right away.
- Tip: Fresh pancakes taste best straight from the pan while they’re still pillowy inside.
