Pancakes Recipe

Would you eat pancakes for supper? This question might seem a bit unconventional, but for many, pancakes are not just a breakfast staple. They can be a delightful and comforting option for any meal of the day. Whether you’re making them for a cozy brunch, a quick supper, or a special breakfast, pancakes are a versatile and universally loved dish. Their fluffy texture, golden-brown exterior, and the myriad of topping possibilities make them a favorite for all ages.

Over the years, I’ve perfected this recipe, ensuring that each pancake is light, fluffy, and full of flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 egg

1 1/4 cups milk

Cooking spray

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted butter, crack in the egg, and add the milk.

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This rest period allows the gluten to relax and the baking powder to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes …
