Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) milk
- 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsps (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 tbsps (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 4 tsps baking powder
- 2 tsps pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Blend Dry Components: Thoroughly combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.
- Construct Liquid Reservoir: Form a central depression within the dry mixture to accommodate incoming liquid elements.
- Integrate Wet Ingredients: Gently cascade milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg into the dry mixture’s core, whisking with delicate strokes to merge components while preserving subtle textural variations.
- Calibrate Batter Consistency: Adjust mixture’s viscosity by incrementally introducing milk if the batter appears excessively thick, aiming for a smooth yet slightly irregular texture.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Warm a nonstick skillet to medium-low heat, lightly glazing with butter to prevent adherence and enhance flavor profile.
- Craft Pancakes: Dispense batter using a measured ladle, creating circular formations and allowing natural bubble formation to indicate optimal cooking progression.
- Execute Precise Flipping: When edges transform to golden-brown and surface bubbles emerge, carefully invert each pancake using a spatula to achieve balanced caramelization on both sides.
- Complete Cooking Sequence: Repeat pancake preparation, maintaining consistent heat and technique until entire batter is transformed into delectable golden discs.
- Serve and Embellish: Arrange pancakes on serving plates, adorning with maple syrup, honey, or an array of fresh fruits to elevate the culinary experience.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently to keep pancakes tender, avoiding tough results from aggressive mixing.
- Temperature Control: Maintain medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even, golden-brown pancakes.
- Bubble Watch: Look for small bubbles across the surface as a sign to flip, indicating proper cooking readiness.
- Batter Consistency: Add milk gradually if mixture seems too thick, aiming for a smooth, pourable texture that spreads easily on the griddle.
