Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Add-ins
- 1 cup Lucky Charms cereal
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavorings.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Fold in Lucky Charms: Carefully fold in the Lucky Charms cereal so that they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
- Prepare the griddle: Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, spacing them adequately.
- Cook the pancakes: Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with syrup and sprinkle extra Lucky Charms on top for a festive presentation.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender.
- Adjust the cooking heat if pancakes brown too quickly without cooking through.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version, though texture may vary.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
