Steps to make delicious pancakes at home:

Step 1:
To make perfect pancakes for breakfast or as a snack, start by cracking an egg into a suitable bowl. Then, using a fork or hand whisk, beat the egg until it is fully combined.

Step 2:
After the egg is beaten, add the sugar, salt, and vanilla to the egg and mix well.

Step 3:
Add 1 cup of milk to the egg mixture and stir until fully combined.

Step 4:
Once the mixture is uniform, sift the flour twice and add it to the pancake mixture. Sifting the flour makes it lighter and prevents lumps when mixing.

Step 5:
After combining the flour with the mixture, add the baking powder and mix well.

Step 6:
Next, add the vegetable oil to the mixture and stir.

Step 7:
After adding the oil, continue mixing until the batter reaches the right consistency. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature so the baking powder can take effect.

Step 8:
Lightly grease the pan and place it over low heat. Using a ladle or funnel, pour the pancake batter into the pan. Pour the batter in a way that forms smooth, round pancakes.

Step 9:
Cook the pancakes on both sides until golden. Be careful not to burn them, as pancakes cook very quickly.

Step 10:
Decorate and serve the pancakes with chocolate, kiwi, banana, strawberry, honey, jam, or butter as desired.

Important tips for making pancakes:

• The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape when poured into the pan. It should not spread too thin or break apart.

• The stove flame affects the pancake quality. Use low to medium heat. To find the right temperature, test with a few small pancakes first.

• Use a pan with a thick bottom to prevent the pancakes from burning.

• You can make various types of pancakes.

• Using milk is optional. If you don’t like the taste of milk, you can replace it with a cup of water. Making pancakes with water is easy, but milk makes them tastier, softer, and prevents them from drying out quickly.

• Only grease the pan the first time. You don’t need to grease it every time; over-greasing will make the pancakes too oily.

• For more flavor, you can use half milk and half orange juice.

Preparation and cooking time:

• Preparing the ingredients: about 15 minutes

• Cooking and waiting time: about 25 minutes
