I have a few go-to pancake recipes like my World’s Easiest Pancake Recipe and my Basic Crepe Batter Recipe but another easy peasy fluffy pancake recipe is this one….it can be whipped up in mere moments and cooks up fluffy with some crispy edges (my favorite).

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
• ¼ cup vegetable oil (approximately) for frying the pancakes
• Good quality butter and pure maple syrup for serving (not optional!)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. In another small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and butter.
3. Gently combine the dry and wet ingredients until just incorporated – don’t overmix.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Ladle about 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet and cook until the surface of pancakes have some bubbles, around 1 minute (see photo below). Flip the pancake and cook another 90 seconds, or until browned. Continue the process until all the batter’s been used, wrapping cooked pancakes in foil until ready to eat.
5. Serve with pats of butter and maple syrup.
