Equipment

  • Large nonstick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted but cool

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.
  • In a measuring cup, whisk the egg and milk together.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir to incorporate. Add the melted butter and stir again until a batter forms.
  • Add a couple of teaspoons of canola oil to the hot skillet. Use a cookie scoop to scoop three pancakes into the skillet. Give them room to spread.
  • Let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until you see lots of bubbles on top. Sprinkle each pancake with a light coating of sugar then flip them.
  • Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are deep golden brown and slightly crisp from the cooked sugar.
  • Repeat with the remaining pancake batter. Serve immediately with maple syrup.
