Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat-free milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or a butter substitute
Cooking spray for greasing the pan
Preparation:
Mixing Dry Ingredients: Begin by whisking together all-purpose flour, sugar (or sugar substitute), baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. This meticulous blending ensures an even distribution of ingredients for a consistent texture in every bite.
Preparing Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together fat-free milk, a large egg, and melted butter. This step introduces the essential moisture and richness to the pancake batter.
Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The key is to avoid overmixing; a few lumps in the batter contribute to the pancakes’ desirable fluffiness.
Preheating and Greasing the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray, ensuring an ideal cooking environment for your pancakes.
Cooking Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the preheated skillet. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface, then expertly flip them to achieve a golden brown hue on the other side.
Repeat: Continue this process until all the batter is used, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the perfect cooking temperature.
Serving Warm: Elevate your pancake experience by serving them warm. Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt, to enhance both the flavor and visual appeal.
