Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the griddle)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk and melted butter until blended.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.
Step 5
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the hot griddle for each griddle cake. Leave some space between the pancakes to allow for spreading.
Step 6
Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form across the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the griddle cakes and cook the other side until golden brown, an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
