Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°F (90°C), with a 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 vegetable oil), and egg.
Pour the dry ingredients to the milk mixture, and stir (do not overmix).
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and coat generously with vegetable oil.
For each pancake, spoon 2 or 3 Tablespoons of batter onto skillet. Cook until the surface of pancakes have some bubbles, about 1 minute. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until brown on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more.
Transfer to the heatproof platter, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven until serving. Serve warm, with desired topping such as maple syrup, fresh berries or banana slices.

Jessica on 2024-08-29 (4 stars): Mostly good but the cooking was uneven for the first.
Celeste on 2024-09-27 (4 stars): This has been my go to recipe since I found it a couple months ago... however I just realized that everytime but today I put in tbsp of baking powder not tsp. Today I put tsp. I have to say, I like them better with more (tbsp) baking powder-they're even fluffier, and thicker. Just food for thought for others trying this recipe.
Atourina Charles on 2024-12-24 (5 stars): Great recipe! We so enjoyed them this Christmas Eve morning ♥️ please add in the instructions to let the batter rest 5 min before using it. When you don’t over mix to allow for bubbles to form you need to let it rest to incorporate on its own. Thank you and have a lovely Christmas!
