Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 2 tsp Baking powder Ensure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances flavors.
  • 2 tbsp Sugar Helps create a golden crust.
  • 1 tbsp Malt powder Optional for added flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup Milk Use whole or 2% for creaminess; almond or soy milk for dairy-free.
  • 2 large Eggs Bind ingredients and add richness.
  • 2 tbsp Melted butter Can substitute with vegetable oil.
Cooking Essentials
  • as needed Cooking spray or butter Prevent sticking during cooking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients and cooking tools including a large mixing bowl, whisk, and non-stick frying pan.
  2. In the mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cooking
  1. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, and eggs.
  2. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; it's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
  3. Heat your non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Serving
  1. Stack your pancakes on a warm plate.
  2. Top them with your favorite ingredients—think syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
  3. Enjoy them warm and gather around the table for a cozy breakfast experience!

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven if making a larger batch. Prepare dry ingredients in advance for quick breakfasts.
