Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or large skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  2. Add the eggs and milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot surface, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

This recipe is very simple. If you want slightly fluffier pancakes, you can add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, but this will make it a four-ingredient recipe. For a richer flavor, use whole milk.
