Ingredients

To make about 6–8 small pancakes, you will need:

• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
• Extra butter or oil for the pan

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix them well with a spoon or whisk. These ingredients will give your pancakes their soft texture and a slightly sweet taste.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

Crack the egg into the bowl. Pour in the milk and add the melted butter or oil. Stir everything together gently until you have a smooth batter. It is okay if there are a few small lumps. Do not overmix the batter because this can make the pancakes less fluffy.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil and spread it around the pan. Let the pan heat for about one minute.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes. You will see small bubbles forming on the surface, and the edges will begin to look firm.

Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, until it becomes golden brown.

Step 5: Repeat

Continue with the remaining batter. Add a little more butter or oil to the pan if necessary.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the pancakes while they are warm. You can enjoy them with:

• Honey
• Maple syrup
• Fresh fruit such as bananas, strawberries, or blueberries
• Chocolate spread
• Powdered sugar
• Whipped cream

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Do not press the pancakes with the spatula while cooking.
• Keep the heat at medium so the pancakes cook evenly and do not burn.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk.
• For extra flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.

These homemade pancakes are soft, fluffy, and perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Enjoy your meal! 🥞✨
