How to Make 5 Teaspoon Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¼ cups milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Add 2-4 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter reaches your desired consistency. It should be slightly thick but pourable.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
