“Fluffy and Delicious Homemade Pancakes: A Step-by-Step Guide”
Making pancakes is a relatively simple process. Here’s a basic recipe for making pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Additional butter or cooking spray for greasing the pan
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can test if the pan is hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water onto the surface. If the water droplets sizzle and evaporate quickly, the pan is ready.
- Grease the pan with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or a ladle, pour the batter onto the hot pan. You can make small or large pancakes, depending on your preference. Leave enough space between each pancake to allow for spreading.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. This indicates that the underside is cooked.
- Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
Note: This recipe is a basic pancake recipe, but you can customize it by adding ingredients like blueberries, chocolate chips, or cinnamon to the batter before cooking.
