These fluffy homemade pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for any morning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help ensure a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Ensure the melted butter is not too hot to prevent cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Lumps in the batter are okay; they help make the pancakes fluffy.
Heat a greased griddle over medium heat. Pour batter onto the griddle, about 1/4 cup per pancake.
Use a ladle or measuring cup for consistent pancake sizes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Wait for bubbles to appear before flipping to ensure even cooking.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
