Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg

- Butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Stacked Sweet Pancakes
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Preheat your skillet or griddle thoroughly to ensure even cooking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Experiment with different flours, such as whole wheat or oat flour, for a unique flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a delightful twist.
- Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Top with sliced bananas, berries, or even a dollop of yogurt for extra freshness.
What to Serve With It
