Gathering the Ingredients

To make the best pancakes, we always start with fresh and simple ingredients. You'll need 1 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of white sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. These pantry staples create the perfect base for your pancakes. Then, for the wet ingredients, we'll use 1 ¼ cups of water and a tablespoon of oil. The oil helps to give the pancakes that perfect texture, while the water creates the right consistency for a batter that's easy to stir and pour.

How to Make the Perfect Pancake Batter

Making the batter for these pancakes is quick and simple. First, we sift together the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—into a large mixing bowl. This ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed and prevents any lumps from forming. Next, we whisk the water and oil together in a separate bowl before pouring it into the dry ingredients.

Now, here's a tip: when mixing the wet and dry ingredients together, we only stir until just blended. The batter will be a bit lumpy, and that's perfectly fine. This gives the pancakes their signature fluffiness when they cook. Overmixing can make them dense, so be careful not to stir too much.

Cooking the Pancakes

With the batter ready, we heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan over medium-high heat. If you're making a larger batch, an electric griddle is a great option since it gives us more space to cook several pancakes at once. When the griddle is hot, we drop the batter onto it in large spoonfuls. As the pancakes cook, we watch for bubbles to form on the surface, and once the edges look dry, it's time to flip them. After flipping, we cook the pancakes for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the bottoms are nicely browned.

Serving and Enjoying

Once the pancakes are cooked to perfection, we serve them immediately, topped with fresh berries—blueberries and strawberries are our favorite! Of course, you can add syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness, but these pancakes are so flavorful on their own that they don't need much.
