Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Pancake Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
  • Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
  • For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
  • Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
  • BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.
  • YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
  • WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pan: Opt for a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Make sure it's large enough to accommodate your desired number of pancakes.
  • Properly Measure Ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate proportions. This helps achieve the right consistency and texture in your pancakes.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This helps evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
  • Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. This creates a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
  • Gradually Add Wet to Dry: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously. Avoid overmixing as it can result in tough pancakes.
  • Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking. This helps the ingredients fully hydrate and results in fluffier pancakes.
  • Preheat Pan and Butter: Heat a pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the surface.
  • Pour and Cook: Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Flip Carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes. Be careful not to tear them as they are delicate when cooking.
