Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 10 minutes | Servings: 1 large stack (3 pancakes)
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt
3/4 cup milk (add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to make quick homemade buttermilk!)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus a little extra for the pan)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cafe-Style Toppings (To Match the Photo):
1/4 cup fresh red raspberries
3-4 slices of a ripe banana
2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until combined.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together.
Combine Into a Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently stir with a spatula just until combined. Tip: Do not overmix! A few small lumps in the batter are completely fine and actually help make the pancakes fluffier.
Cook Until Golden: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush it lightly with a tiny bit of butter. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see small bubbles popping on the top surface and the edges look set.
Flip and Rise: Gently slide your spatula underneath and flip the pancake over. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until it is beautifully golden-brown and puffed up. Repeat for the remaining batter to create your stack of three.
Plate and Style: To mirror our gorgeous photo, stack your three warm pancakes in the center of a clean plate. Arrange your fresh red raspberries and a slice of banana neatly right on the top peak. Drizzle your golden honey or maple syrup all over the stack, letting it run down the sides, and finish with a light dusting of shredded coconut flakes across the top and around the plate rim!
