Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp butter melted, plus some for oiling the skillet
  • 2 ¼ cups whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the skillet over medium heat.
  • Whisk dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients and mix with a hand mixer until just combined. (You can also mix by hand with the same results)
  • Melt a little butter (or oil) in the skillet and pour about a 1/4 cup of batter in at a time.
  • Cook until the bottom side is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until lightly browned.

Notes

Bubbles on the top of the pancakes are also a good sign that your pancakes are ready to flip.
