1

Prepare the pancake batter

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 3 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, beat 1 ¼ cups of milk, 1 egg, and 3 tablespoons of melted butter. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, a few lumps are okay!

2

Heat the griddle or pan

Place a non-stick griddle or pan over medium heat. If you want to test if the pan is hot enough, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface. If they sizzle and evaporate, you're good to go!

3

Pour the batter

Using a measuring cup or ladle, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but remember that bigger pancakes take longer to cook.

4

Cook until golden brown

Let the pancakes cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip them with a spatula. Cook for another minute or so until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little butter to the pan as needed. Just don't forget to sneak a pancake or two while cooking!

5

Serve and enjoy!

Stack up those fluffy pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with maple syrup. To add some extra deliciousness, you can also top them with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Now it's time to dig in and savor the fluffy pancake goodness!
