Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter for the griddle
  • Pinch of salt optional but recommended

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Griddle or large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Paper towels
  • Plate for serving

Method
 

  1. Pour 1 cup flour into a large bowl and set aside.
  2. In another small bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 2 eggs until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the flour bowl and stir gently with a whisk until just combined.
  4. Set your batter aside for 2 minutes while you heat your griddle.
  5. Set your griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
  6. Flick a tiny drop of water onto the griddle; if it sizzles, you're ready to cook.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, leaving space between them.
  8. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on top.
  9. Slide your spatula under each pancake and flip it quickly.
  10. Cook the second side for about 1 to 1.5 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Place finished pancakes on a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  12. Stack your pancakes on serving plates and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Serve within 5 minutes of cooking for the best texture. Add toppings like syrup, fresh berries, or yogurt for variety.
