A pancake is a classic breakfast favorite—soft, fluffy, and versatile. It’s essentially a thin, flat cake made from a simple batter and cooked on a griddle or frying pan. 🥞
🥄 Basic Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- Optional: vanilla extract
🔥 How to Make Pancakes
- Mix dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using).
- Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently. Batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Cook: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
- Flip: When bubbles form on top and edges look set, flip and cook the other side 1–2 minutes.
🍓 Tips & Variations
- Fluffier pancakes: Separate egg, whip the white, and fold in gently.
- Add-ins: Blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices.
- Toppings: Maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, nuts, or whipped cream.
🥞 Fun Variations
- Buttermilk pancakes – tangy and extra soft
- Oat or whole wheat pancakes – healthier fiber boost
- Savory pancakes – add cheese, herbs, or veggies
