Ingredients
- 200 g flour
- 250 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients, then stir in milk and egg until just combined.
- Rest the batter 5 minutes.
- Cook scoops on a greased pan over medium heat.
- Flip when bubbles pop; cook 1 more minute.
💡 Chef's tip
Flip only once, when bubbles form and pop across the surface - pressing or re-flipping deflates them.
Letting the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking lets the flour hydrate and the leavening start working, which is the real secret to thick, fluffy pancakes.
