When you're craving pancakes but don't have much time, this quick and easy recipe is perfect for you. With only a few basic ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have delicious pancakes on your plate in no time.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of milk
1 egg
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. 2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil. 3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough. 4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. 5. Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. 6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. 7. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
