Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, canola oil, and milk until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  4. Preheat and Prepare Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to ensure fluffy pancakes.
  • Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks through.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping and cooking.
  • Can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
