Basic Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 C flour
• 1 tbs sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• 1 C milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbs melted butter

Directions

1. Make Batter: Mix dry ingredients, then add wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Add more milk if batter is too thick (especially if using buttermilk). Rest batter 20-30 minutes.
2. Heat Griddle: Heat griddle over medium until water droplets sizzle. Lightly grease with oil or shortening.
3. Cook Pancakes: Ladle batter onto griddle. When bubbles form and break on the surface (about 3 minutes), flip.
4. Finish & Serve: Cook 2 minutes more, then remove to a plate, top with butter, and serve immediately.
