Ingredients
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 250 ml milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tbsp butter or oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vegetable oil or melted butter until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil as needed.
Step 5
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow them to spread.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for about 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between batches if necessary.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.
