Description
A fun and easy twist on traditional pancakes, perfect for a quick and delicious breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose blend)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (or oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat the skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
5. Cook the pancakes: Pour the batter onto the hot skillet, using about 1/4 cup of batter for each “pancake.” Let the pancakes cook for a minute or two, until bubbles start to form on the surface.
6. Scramble: Using a spatula, gently scramble the pancakes into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes total.
7. Serve: Remove the Scrambled Pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. See variations for sweet and savory options. Can substitute gluten-free flour and non-dairy milk.
