describe how to make pancakes.
user
to make pancakes, you will need 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. start by sifting the flour, baking powder and salt together in one bowl. in a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, and melted butter. then, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. heat a skillet over medium-low heat and grease with butter. pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges appear crispy. flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden brown. serve with favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fresh fruit.
