🧾 Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently—do not overmix (lumps are fine).
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the pan.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip.
- Cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
🔥 Methods (Cooking Style Tips)
- Low & slow heat: prevents burning and keeps pancakes fluffy
- Rest the batter: let it sit 5–10 minutes for extra softness
- Don’t overmix: keeps texture light instead of dense
- Butter vs oil: butter adds flavor, oil gives even browning
📜 History
Pancakes are one of the oldest breakfast foods in the world, dating back thousands of years. Ancient versions were made with simple grains and water. Over time, cultures added milk, eggs, and baking agents, turning them into the fluffy breakfast staple we love today.
🧬 Formation (Why They Work)
The baking powder releases air bubbles when heated, creating lift. The egg helps bind everything together, while milk and butter give moisture and richness. This combination creates that soft, airy pancake structure.
