Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by melting the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave until it’s completely liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and pour in the milk. Whisk vigorously until the eggs and milk are well combined.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: To the egg and milk mixture, add the melted butter. Stir well to incorporate. Then, sift in the baking powder and flour. Add the salt as well. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. The batter should be pourable but not too runny.
-
Heat Griddle: Place a non-stick griddle or large skillet on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for a few minutes until hot.
-
Cook Pancakes: Once the griddle is hot, lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter out into a thin, even circle, about 3 inches in diameter. Cook the pancakes for about 1-2 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
-
Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the griddle lightly between each batch if needed.
-
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy your light and delicious thin pancakes!
