No Kitchen Scale Pancakes

Ohhh yes — pancakes by vibes, not grams 🥞
No scale, no stress, still fluffy.

No-Kitchen-Scale Pancakes (Cup & Spoon Method)

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• Pinch of salt

• 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)

• 1 egg

• 2 tbsp melted butter or oil

• ½ tsp vanilla (optional)

How to make them

1. Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl

2. Add milk, egg, butter, and vanilla

3. Stir just until combined (lumps = fluffy pancakes)

4. Rest batter 5 minutes

5. Cook on a lightly greased pan over medium heat

6. Flip when bubbles appear and edges look set

Batter fixes (no measuring drama)

• Too thick? Splash of milk

• Too thin? Spoon of flour

• Flat pancakes? Batter probably overmixed

Easy variations

• Banana: mash ½ banana into batter

• Protein: replace ¼ cup flour with protein powder

• Whole wheat: use ½ white + ½ whole wheat

• No egg: add 1 tbsp oil + extra splash of milk

Pancake rule everyone should know

The first pancake is a test pancake.
It exists to calibrate heat and expectations 😄
