Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Ladle or measuring cup for batter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tbsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, water (or plant milk), oil or butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  • Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined—do not overmix. The batter may be a little lumpy, and that’s okay.
  • Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to help activate the baking powder for fluffier pancakes.
  • Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve Warm: Serve immediately with maple syrup, fruit, or any of your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use carbonated water for an extra fluffy texture.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a flavor boost.
  • Make it vegan by using a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water) instead of a regular egg.
