Let's Prepare

Collect

Gather these ingredients - no prep needed yet.

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk

Prepare

  • Melt 1 tsp butter

Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt until evenly combined.

  2. Step 2.

    Beat 1 egg into the dry ingredients until incorporated.

  3. Step 3.

    Gradually stir in 1 cup milk, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Then stir in 1 tsp melted butter. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk to reach a pourable consistency.

  4. Step 4.

    If desired, fold in blueberries, sliced bananas, strawberries, or chocolate chips.

  5. Step 5.

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the surface with a pat of butter or a piece of bacon fat.

  6. Step 6.

    Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.

  7. Step 7.

    Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1–2 minutes more.

  8. Step 8.

    Serve the pancakes in stacks with a pat of butter and warm maple syrup.
