There’s nothing quite like a warm batch of homemade pancakes to start off a relaxing weekend morning. And if you’re only cooking for two, there’s no need to make a huge batch that will leave you with leftovers for days. Instead, try making Perfectly Portioned: Homemade Pancakes for Two.
One of the great things about making pancakes for two is that you can tailor the recipe to your preferences. Whether you like your pancakes fluffy or thin, sweet or savory, there are countless ways to customize them. Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or bananas to the batter, or mix in a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg for extra flavor. The possibilities are endless!
To make Perfectly Portioned: Homemade Pancakes for Two, start by gathering the ingredients. You’ll need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, an egg, and butter. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also add in any of the aforementioned mix-ins. Once you’ve got everything you need, it’s time to start cooking.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients – milk, egg, and melted butter. Then, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps in the batter are okay!
Next, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter onto the skillet in 1/4 cup portions, using the back of a spoon to spread it into a circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set. Then, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once your pancakes are finished, it’s time to serve them up and enjoy. Top them with your favorite syrup, jam, or fruit, and dig in!
Making Perfectly Portioned: Homemade Pancakes for Two is a great way to enjoy a delicious breakfast without any of the hassle of making a larger batch. Plus, cooking together in the kitchen can be a fun and bonding experience for you and your partner. So, the next time you’re craving pancakes, give this recipe a try and treat yourself to a cozy breakfast for two.
