Enjoy light, airy pancakes, traditionally a breakfast favorite, transformed into a delightful and easy dinner. Perfect with sweet or savory toppings for a comforting family meal.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter plus extra for griddle
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a savory twist, add cooked bacon bits, shredded cheese, or chopped chives to the batter. For sweet, try fresh berries, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve with maple syrup, fruit, or a fried egg on the side.
