The Best Weekend Pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (or buttermilk, or 3/4 milk + 3/4 buttermilk)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 orange zest (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a medium size frying pan (or flat top grill) to medium heat and lightly butter it using a paper towel.
  • In a medium size bowl, mix dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) with a whisk.
  • Add the milk, egg, butter and orange zest. Whisk to mix well.
  • With a 1/4 cup size dry measuring cup, scoop out the batter and pour it on the pan. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup as a ladle since I like my pancakes to all be perfectly even in size.
  • At this point, if you want you can add chocolate chips, blueberries or banana slices so they’re evenly spread on the pancake (and will look prettier too).
  • Fry for about 1 minute, until bubbles start forming and rising to the top. That’s when they’re ready to flip!
  • Flip and fry for final minute until pancakes starts to puff up. Stack pancakes on plate as they’re ready. Doing this will keep them warm and moist.
  • Repeat for the remainder of the batter. BONUS: This recipe can be used for making waffles  too! Enjoy with lots of maple syrup or sprinkle with powdered sugar and fruits!
