How to Make Pancakes?
- Step 1: Combine the flour, egg, butter, and milk. In a bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Make a thick, smooth batter by gradually adding the flour. Add the remaining milk after beating thoroughly until there are no more lumps. It’s crucial that your batter is fairly thick to prevent the mixture from running, but if it’s too thick to handle, add a little more milk.
- Step 2: Apply butter to a plate to prevent pancakes from sticking to it. Use as little as one thin coat, but you can add more if you want. You might also think about using margarine, vegetable or olive oil, or nonstick cooking spray.
- Step 3: Spoon about 3/4 cup of pancake batter onto the plate. Your plate’s size will determine the size of the pancake, but keep in mind that larger pancakes will take longer to cook.
- For 60 seconds in step four, microwave the plate. If you are aware that your microwave has a different power level from 800w, adjust the time. You can heat the pancake for an additional ten seconds if it’s still runny, but don’t overdo it. Your pancake won’t brown because there isn’t a grill involved. Your pancake will turn out hard and dry if you overcook it.
- Step 5: Repeat to create more. Put the finished pancake on a fresh plate. If the cooking plate is still generously greased with butter, add another dollop of pancake batter. If not, then add additional butter as needed to prevent the next pancake from sticking. The second pancake should be cooked for one minute, or until it is no longer runny. Continue until you’ve made all the pancakes you want.

FAQs
Does The Pancake Batter Have To Rest?
Does it have to? No, it doesn’t, but is it batter if it does? Definitely! Giving your pancake batter some time to rest will help it thicken, ensuring that no air bubbles escape and resulting in the fluffiest pancakes possible.
Can I Use This Microwave Pancake Method From A Box Mix?
The batter that comes in a box is typically thinner and has a more liquid consistency than our recipe, but that is fine. Pancakes should be heated in the microwave for 45 seconds, checked after that, and then heated for a further 15 seconds.
