Hotcakes Ingredients

Method

Hotcakes Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Mix Together

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

  4. 4

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  5. 5

    Cook the Hotcakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each hotcake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
