Fluffy Pancakes in 8 Min
Nothing like a quick stack of pancakes when time is tight. I keep flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt ready in the pantry, so mixing the dry stuff is a breeze. I make a little well in the center, crack in an egg, and pour in about 3/4 cup of milk. If the batter looks too thick, a splash more milk does the trick. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of oil to the mix—makes the pancakes hold together better.
Whisking until it’s just combined is key. Overmixing leads to rubbery pancakes, which nobody wants. I let the batter sit for a few minutes while the skillet heats up. Medium heat works best—too hot and the outside burns before the inside cooks. A little butter or oil in the pan, then I ladle out small circles of batter. Once bubbles start popping on top, it’s time to flip. Another half-minute and they’re done.
Toppings are whatever’s on hand—maple syrup, berries, or even a swipe of jam. It’s a solid breakfast that doesn’t take much effort.
