- Cooking method: Pan-frying
- Prep time: 5 minutes
- Cooking time: 10 minutes
- Cuisine type: American
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk (any type you prefer)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or additional vegetable oil for greasing the pan
Cooking Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Lumps are okay; you’re not preparing for a smooth jazz concert!
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little vegetable oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter. Voila—stack of one-person pancakes!
Suggestions
- Alternative ingredients: Substitute milk with almond milk, soy milk, or even water in a pinch. Add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the milk to make buttermilk.
- Garnishing options: Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. A drizzle of maple syrup or honey will take it to the next level!
- Cooking tips: Don’t overmix the batter; it’s fine if it’s lumpy. Keep an eye on the pan heat to avoid burning (unless you’re into that kind of thing).
