How do I make batter for pancakes from scratch?
assistant
To make batter for pancakes from scratch, you will need the following ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup of milk, and 1 large egg. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir them together until they are just combined. Do not over mix the batter, or the pancakes may be tough. Let the batter sit for a few minutes while you heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or cooking spray. When the pan is hot, pour in approximately 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake. Cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on the bottom and the edges look done, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Serve the pancakes with butter, syrup, and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
