Ingredients

Scale

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1.25 cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 teaspoon salt


Instructions

Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
Pour the milk and egg into the center.
Stir the batter gently with a spatula until just a few lumps remain.
Heat a large non-stick griddle over medium heat.
Drop small tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the hot griddle.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip to brown the other side.
Serve warm with your favorite child-friendly toppings.

Notes

Use whole wheat flour for added fiber if preferred. The batter is best cooked immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. These pancakes freeze exceptionally well for a quick reheat in the morning.
