Pancakes

🔥 The Ultimate Pancake Recipe

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole milk = extra richness)

• 1 egg

• 3 tbsp melted butter (plus more for the pan)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)

🍳 Steps:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

3. Combine Gently:

   • Pour the wet mix into the dry. Stir just until combined – lumps are okay! Overmixing = tough pancakes.

4. Rest the Batter (optional but magical):

   • Let it sit for 5–10 minutes. It helps the gluten relax and the baking powder activate.

5. Heat Your Pan:

   • Use a nonstick or cast iron skillet. Medium heat. Add a pat of butter and spread it around.

6. Cook:

   • Scoop ¼ cup batter per pancake. When bubbles form and the edges look set (about 2 min), flip. Cook another 1–2 min.

7. Keep Warm (optional):

   • Place pancakes in a 200°F (90°C) oven while cooking the rest.

🍯 Bonus Tips:

• Add-ins: Toss in blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices after pouring batter in the pan.

• For extra fluff: Separate the egg, whip the egg white until soft peaks, then fold into the batter.

• Dairy-free? Use oat milk and oil instead of butter.

• Serve with: Real maple syrup, whipped cream, or lemon + sugar for a fresh twist.
