This easy ULTIMATE FLUFFY PANCAKES Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients! INGREDIENTS 1 1?2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons sugar 2 1?2 teaspoons baking powder 1 egg 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 1?4 cups milk DIRECTIONS Beat egg. Stir in butter and milk. Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Stir into egg mixture. Lightly grease a griddle. Heat griddle and drop about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Spread lightly with a spoon. When bubbles begin to appear around outside edge and break, turn with a spatula and cook on other side. (I also lift edge a little with the spatula and peek under it to see how it's doing.) You will need to adjust your heat so they do not cook too fast and burn. For me, the temperature usually ends up somewhere between medium and medium-high. by: cuisinebymae
