World’s Easiest Pancake Recipe

I woke up this morning with pancakes on the brain. I’m usually partial to crepes vs pancakes, but today, after seeing the gorgeous tiny organic strawberries I received in my Bracco Farms CSA box, I wanted pancakes with Quebec maple syrup and strawberries.

This is the simplest pancake recipe of all times with just a few dry ingredients mixed with wet ones easily available at home….no fancy buttermilk, ricotta pancakes….just solid, easy-to-make pancakes the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking powder

2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

½ tsp. salt

1 cup whole milk

1 large egg

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

3 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Directions:

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

In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg and butter. Add the dry ingredients in the milk mixture and whisk until just moistened with a few lumps – do not overmix.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add ½ tablespoon oil and warm for 30 seconds.

Add about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. You should be able to fit 2 pancakes in a large skillet.

Cook until the surface of pancakes has some bubbles and a few have burst, about 1 minute. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the second side, about another minute.

Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while cooking the rest of the pancakes.
