About this dish

Small lumps left in the batter make for a fluffier stack.

Mixing stops before the batter turns smooth and the cakes turn tough, and the batter then rests a few minutes to hold on to the bubbles from the baking powder. A pan kept at medium-low lets the centers cook before the outsides scorch. Wait for the surface bubbles to burst and the edges to look dry, then flip only once, since an early or second turn spoils the shape.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Place 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.

    Whisk thoroughly so the leavener and salt are evenly distributed before the liquid is added.

  2. 2

    In a second bowl, beat 1 cup milk with 1 egg until the yolk is fully loosened.

    Stir in 30 g melted butter only after it is warm, not hot, so the egg does not start to set.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the bowl, for only 15 to 20 strokes.

    Stop while small lumps remain, because overmixing makes the pancakes chewy.

  4. 4

    Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes, and use that time to preheat the pan over medium-low heat.

    The temperature is right when a drop of water sizzles gently instead of vanishing instantly.

  5. 5

    Grease the pan with a very thin layer of butter and ladle about 1/3 cup batter for each pancake.

    Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles break on the surface and the edges look dry and set.

  6. 6

    Flip each pancake once with a wide spatula and cook for about 1 minute more.

    Serve warm when both sides are golden and the center springs back lightly when pressed, with syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Tips

Keep heat at medium-low so the inside cooks before the outside burns.
Flip based on bubble timing, not the clock, for better shape and color.
