Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (12g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (2g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (1g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120ml) (can be dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (14g)
  • 1 large egg (optional for fluffier texture)

Instructions:

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk gently until evenly mixed.
  2. Pour in milk and melted butter; add the egg if using. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.
  3. Divide the batter into two equal portions in the bowl/mug. This helps ensure even cooking.
  4. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, checking at 1 minute. Cook until the pancakes are puffed and spring back to touch.
  5. Carefully remove from the microwave, let cool slightly, then serve warm with toppings of your choice.
