Pancake

 Pancakes are a classic breakfast favorite. Here's a basic pancake recipe for you:

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (whole milk or any milk you prefer)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Prepare Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Heat the Pan:

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil and let it melt and coat the pan.

Cook the Pancakes:

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. You can adjust the amount to make smaller or larger pancakes, depending on your preference.

Cook Until Bubbles Form:

Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set, usually about 2-3 minutes.

Flip and Cook the Other Side:

Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.

Serve:

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a preheated oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you cook the rest, if needed.

Add Toppings:

Serve your pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh berries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or whipped cream.

Enjoy your homemade pancakes! This basic recipe can be easily customized by adding ingredients like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
