How to Make Our Favorite Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 2 cups milk, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients.
  5. Gently whisk until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay!
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium-high heat. (You'll know it's ready when a drop of water sizzles on the surface.)
  7. Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. 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.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream!
