Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

A perfect pancake recipe for a wholesome breakfast !!

Here are the ingredients you will need: All purpose flour, Milk, Egg, Butter, Sugar, Baking powder and Salt

Begin by adding 1 1/2 cups of All purpose flour in the  sifter

Next add 3 1/2 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Salt

 

1 Tbsp Sugar
 

Sift it together and keep it aside.

Next melt 3 Tbsp of Butter in a microwave safe bowl

To this, add 1 1/2 Cups of room temperature milk.
Don't add cold milk. It will result in semi solid butter globs which will be more difficult to combine.

To this add 1 Egg

and 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract and whisk it until the mixture is combined.

Now pour the mixture into the flour mixture

and slowly mix it together

 Do not over mix, a few small lumps are fine.

Let it rest for 15 minutes. Batter will be somewhat thick and bubbly.
Meanwhile heat up a cast iron pan/griddle

Drop 1/4 cupful of batter onto the pan.

If you need that golden even color for your pancakes, you will need a cast iron pan and do not grease the pan before pouring the batter.

Cook until the surface of pancakes have some bubbles.

Flip with a thin spatula and brown the other side.

Serve with lashings of real maple syrup and extra butter if you like.

These pancakes are light and fluffy and great for a weekend brunch.

Serve immediately.
