Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Beat the Egg: In a mixing bowl, beat the egg until fluffy, creating a light and airy texture.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and melted margarine to the beaten egg, stirring until well incorporated. This creates a smooth and creamy base for your pancake batter.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
-
Preheat the Griddle: Heat a heavy griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Grease the surface lightly with butter or margarine using a paper towel.
-
Test the Heat: To ensure the griddle is hot enough, sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface. The water should sizzle and evaporate almost immediately, indicating that the pan is ready for cooking.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Use a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if necessary. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface and begin to break.
-
Flip and Cook: Once bubbles have formed, carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the pancakes from the griddle and serve them warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy these delicious pancakes with your loved ones for a delightful breakfast treat!
