Equipment

  • griddle or pan
  • cookie cutters
  • measuring spoons
  • bowls
  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup milk can substitute water
  • 2 tablespoon oil recommend olive or sunflower

Instructions
 

  • Stir together your dry ingredients in a bowl
  • Mix together your liquid ingredients, add to dry ingredients
  • Pour 1-2 spoonfuls of batter into your greased cookie cutter that's on the hot+greased griddle and allow to set for 3-4 minutes (depending on your griddle heat). I usually wait 2-3 minutes and have mine set to 325-350.
  • Tap the cutter, holding the aluminum foil, to release the pancake. Usually it takes me 10-15 gentle taps.
  • Flip pancake over, and allow to cook on griddle for 2 minutes
  • Use a spatula to remove excess pancake batter and remove cookie cutter safely. The cookie cutter may be hot, be careful not to lift directly, consider using a pot holder.
  • Top with syrup, butter, or your topping of choice and enjoy!
