Basic Pancakes
Author: The Blue Jean Chef, Meredith Laurence
Serves: 6 to 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
- butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Combine the egg, milk, lemon juice and oil or butter, and whisk together in a separate bowl or glass measure. Beat well to incorporate air into the mixture.
- Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the two are just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.
- Pre-heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter and lightly coat the surface of the pan. When the butter no longer sizzles, and a droplet of water splashed into the pan does sizzle, it is ready to make the pancakes.
- Pour batter in the pan, making pancakes of whatever size you wish. Do not disturb the pancakes until you see many little bubbles on the uncooked surface of the batter – about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until equally browned. Remove and repeat for next batch.
