This Pancakes Recipe For One Person Will Make You Rethink SundayBrunches

Sure, you like to cook, but sometimes you want to bake just a single cupcake or whip up fajitas for one. Pancakes are the food equivalent to that perfectly worn-in sweater you’ve had for over a decade. They're warm, comforting, and familiar; perhaps they remind you of eating breakfast in bed while growing up, or of mixing the batter with your grandmother on Sunday mornings. What makes these pancakes stand out is their fluffiness. Two things give us this whisper soft texture: self-rising flour and whipped egg white.

While self-rising flour is readily available at most groceries, it’s not necessarily a staple in many people's pantries. So here, in addition to this pancake recipe, I've also included steps to make your own with items you most likely already have on hand (you’re welcome). Note: If you’re a kitchen whiz and already have self-rising flour, just measure out 1/4 cup for this recipe. Cooking these requires a good nonstick pan, since the batter is quite wet, and you’ll need to flip it halfway.

Let your pan properly heat, and oil it enough to prevent sticking. In this recipe, I’ve measured out three 1/4 cup-sized pancakes for the perfect, single-serving stack. Lastly, though this recipe is for plain, classic pancakes, you can very easily customize these to your heart’s desire. Thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. And, congrats: You just made self-rising flour!

Measure out 1/4 cup for your pancakes, then store and save the remainder. 1. Whisk together the self-rising flour and sugar in a small bowl. 2. Add the milk and 1 tablespoon oil, then whisk until smooth. 3. In another small bowl, whisk the egg white vigorously until soft peaks begin to form.

4. Gently fold the beaten egg white into the batter with a spatula. Slow and steady here! 5. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a few drops of vegetable oil and heat until it's simmering. Add a third of the batter and cook until bubbles form on surface, two to three minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden-brown, two to three minutes more. 6. Repeat with the remaining batter. Remove from heat once cooked through. 7. Finish with butter and maple syrup. How delicious do these look, Bon appetit, my friend!

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe Tutta! Just know that anything I make with carbs can be made with the wheat substitute. OoOo, wheat pancakes sound yummy and healthy! As healthy as pancakes can be soaked in maple syrup! I'm totally sending this recipe over to the hubby to make me for Mother's Day!

Oh yeah. The little one I was making them for wanted different shapes each time, but no toppings. I'm a big filling person. I like chocolate chips sometimes, pears sometimes, and even apples. My husband is all about the toppings. He loves lots of butter, syrup, and sometimes even peaches. Pancakes give so much opportunity for creative minds. I think this is the main reason for their popularity. At first look at toppings I thought: 'What about toppings we use,

What's the Best Coffee, I'm like you, I tend to think that off-brands are things that have to be tried to see if the quality is the same and sometimes it's better. It's definitely hit or miss but once you find the ones that are just as good or better, it's a great value.

Thank you so much for reading it, tobusiness. Good to see you. I appreciate your comments. Lots of good ideas here, more people should try out the different brands, they maybe pleasantly surprised. Great hub, very timely. Good analysis, I agree. Thanks for stopping by and for you comment. I find it hit or miss with store brand products. Peanut butter doesn't taste much different but frozen vegetables, ugh! Overall, most of my groceries have been store brand to save money and I can't taste a big difference, but I have saved money! How about that, small world.

But I'd like to limit exchanges here to comments and replies about the article. It can affect google indexing from my understanding. Thanks, see you around. I see we grew up less than 10 miles apart. Betty Crocker has a simple pancake mix all of one's. It's a good recipe that will give you fluffy pancakes. I learned this years ago and the fact that is was one of everything made it simple to remember.
