Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift the baking powder, flour, and salt together into a large mixing bowl.
- Break the egg into the bowl; add the milk and stir until the batter is smooth.
- Add the oil and mix well.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Tilt the skillet to cover the bottom with the melted butter.
- Pour in the batter a little at a time to make circles about 2 1/2 inches across, leaving space between pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface but before they burst, then turn them with a pancake turner.
- Cook until the bottoms are browned.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and stack them on a plate.
- Cover the plate loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Melt another tablespoon of butter in the skillet and cook the remaining batter the same way.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the batter. If you're out of all-purpose flour, substitute with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture. You can also use almond or oat milk as a lactose-free alternative. Remember to adjust the cooking time as needed based on your skillet's heat and the thickness of the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful breakfast. They pair beautifully with a side of Judy'S Delicious Spinach for a balanced meal. For a twist, try adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter before cooking.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through. For a crispy texture, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side.
