Description
Fluffy, golden pancakes with a sweet touch, perfect for breakfast or dessert, often served with traditional Mexican toppings like cajeta or fresh tropical fruits.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
¾ cup milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
Step 4: Heat a lightly oiled or buttered griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
Step 5: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For an authentic touch, try serving these pancakes with cajeta (Mexican caramel sauce), dulce de leche, or fresh tropical fruits like mango or papaya. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for extra warmth.
