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
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well mixed to ensure even leavening in your pancakes.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, brewed coffee, and melted butter, whisking until smooth and fully combined to create the batter base.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Some lumps are okay as overmixing can make pancakes tough.
- Preheat the griddle: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour the batter onto the hot griddle in your desired pancake sizes. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, indicating the bottom side is set and ready to flip.
- Flip and finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for a more pronounced coffee flavor without making the batter too liquidy.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- You can substitute milk with almond milk or other milk alternatives for a dairy-free option.
- Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for enhanced flavor.
