Pancake Batter
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Mix the Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little butter or oil.
Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve
Serve warm with maple syrup and butter on top.
