Instructions

Prepare the Batter
Start by cracking the egg into a mixing bowl. Whisk the egg with a hand whisk until it becomes light and frothy. Once the egg mixture is airy, gradually add the milk while continuing to whisk. -
-
Sift the Dry Ingredients
Using a fine sieve, sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Add them slowly, sprinkling them over the liquid mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, using smooth, upward motions to combine, ensuring that the batter remains light and airy. -
Rest the Batter
Once the batter is smooth and well mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help the pancakes achieve their fluffy texture when cooked. -
Cook the Pancakes
After the batter has rested, heat a non-stick skillet or a special crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a paper towel soaked in olive oil, if needed. -
Pour and Cook
For each pancake, pour a spoonful of batter onto the center of the hot pan, allowing it to naturally spread out into a round shape. Cook until small bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake. When this happens, use a spatula to flip the pancake gently. Allow it to cook for another minute until both sides are golden brown. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, serve your fluffy butter-free pancakes warm. You can top them with fresh fruit, honey, or your favorite syrup for an added treat.
These pancakes are a wonderful breakfast option for those who are mindful of their butter intake but still crave a classic, comforting dish. Perfectly balanced in texture and flavor, they will surely become a staple in your recipe repertoire. Enjoy!
