How to make Pancakes

Making pancakes is a simple and delightful process. Here’s a basic recipe to guide you in making delicious pancakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
• Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

Prepare the batter:

1. • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
   • In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
   • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter has some small lumps.
   • Gently fold in the melted butter or oil.Heat the griddle or pan:
     • Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.Cook the pancakes:
       • Once the pan is hot, pour a scoop of batter onto the surface (about 1/4 cup for each pancake).
       • Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, usually 2-3 minutes.
       • Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.Serve:
         • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter. Keep the finished pancakes warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel while you cook the rest.
         • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or any other desired toppings.

Feel free to adjust the batter consistency by adding more milk for thinner pancakes or more flour for thicker ones. This basic pancake recipe allows for endless variations and additions to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade pancakes!
