How to Make Hearty Thin Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 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; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled 12-inch nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, spreading it thinly to create a 4-5 inch circle.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as jam, jelly, maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. Roll them up for an extra-special treat!
