Making pancakes from scratch in seconds may not be possible, as pancakes require a few essential ingredients and some preparation time. However, you can make pancakes relatively quickly by following this simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (or use additional milk)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- Cooking spray or additional butter for greasing the pan
Instructions:
Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, yogurt, egg, and melted butter or oil until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
Lightly grease the preheated skillet or griddle with cooking spray or butter.
Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the pancake batter onto the hot surface. Aim for about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, or adjust according to your desired pancake size.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to form on the surface, usually about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Repeat steps 6-9 with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts.
While this recipe won't yield pancakes in seconds, it provides a simple and relatively quick method to make delicious homemade pancakes from scratch. Enjoy your pancakes!
