American Pancakes

01Method

1. 1

   Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together until well mixed.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg with the milk and oil until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour portions of the batter onto the skillet and cook gently until the surface appears mostly set but still slightly moist.

4. 4

   Flip each pancake and cook the second side until it turns golden brown. Serve warm with fruit jam or your preferred topping.
