Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (strong)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, brewed coffee, and melted butter until everything is fully blended.
- Make Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined; lumps are fine and help keep pancakes tender.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle in desired sizes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Flip each pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and pancakes are cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for a pronounced coffee flavor.
- Lumps in the batter are normal; overmixing can make pancakes tough.
- Adjust milk quantity slightly to achieve your preferred batter consistency.
- This recipe makes approximately 6-8 medium pancakes, depending on size.
- For dairy-free options, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
