  • 2 tbsp Sugar For gentle sweetness and browning.
  • 2 tbsp Baking powder Provides lift and fluffiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant milk and oil. Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
