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 to ensure they are evenly combined and to incorporate air for fluffy pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, brewed coffee, and melted butter until fully blended, creating the flavorful liquid base for the batter.
- Make the Batter: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. It’s important not to overmix; some lumps are okay to keep the pancakes tender.
- Preheat Griddle: Warm a griddle or large skillet over medium heat, and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour batter onto the hot griddle in your desired pancake size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Notes
- For stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or a concentrated brew.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Serve with butter, maple syrup, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Milk alternatives such as almond or oat milk work well in this recipe.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F) while cooking the rest.
