Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup grape syrup
Special equipment needed:
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
- Spatula
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add in the milk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will result in tough pancakes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
5. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to dry out, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side.
6. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
7. Serve the pancakes with grape syrup drizzled on top.
