Making delicious, fluffy Pancakes

Making delicious, fluffy pancakes from scratch is simple and only requires a few basic ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Here is a classic recipe to get you started.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is just combined. The batter should have some lumps; do not overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
4. Heat the pan: Heat a lightly oiled or buttered griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the pancakes: Pour or scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry.
6. Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
7. Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
