Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour 300g
- 1¼ cups milk 300ml
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1½ teaspoons salt equivalent to ½ tablespoon
- 4 tablespoons oil or melted butter
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- Toppings of your choice: maple syrup Nutella, honey, fruit, butter, etc.
Instructions
Preparation:
- Start by adding the sugar and egg into a bowl. Whip by hand until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Pour in 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted butter. Mix well until fully combined.
- Add the warm (not hot) milk slowly while stirring. This helps everything blend smoothly.
- Mix in 4 teaspoons of baking powder this is key for fluffy pancakes. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that McDonald’s-style sweetness.
- Start adding the flour one spoon at a time, mixing continuously. This prevents lumps and keeps the batter smooth.
- If the batter is too runny, add more flour. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk. The texture should be smooth, slightly thick, and easy to pour.
Cooking:
- Place a pan over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Use the same amount of batter each time by filling the ladle to the same level. This keeps your pancakes even in size.
- Pour the batter into the pan. Once small bubbles form on the surface, flip the pancake. Cook the other side for about one minute until golden.
- Repeat until all the batter is used. Stack them up, top with your favorites, and enjoy.
