Indulge in a personal stack of fluffy, American-style pancakes with this tailored recipe for a single serving. Perfect for a luxurious breakfast or a delightful treat, these pancakes can be elevated with a drizzle of maple syrup and a side of fresh berries for a touch of sweetness and color.
1. Prep Work
Separate the egg, placing the white in one bowl and the yolk in another. In the bowl with the yolk, combine the flour, baking powder, and milk. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
2. Whip the Egg White
Add a pinch of salt to the egg white. Use an electric whisk or a hand whisk to beat the egg white until it becomes fluffy and forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped egg white into the batter, taking care not to deflate the mixture to maintain its airiness.
3. Cook the Pancakes
Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour a third of the batter into the pan, forming one pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter to create a total of three pancakes.
Mix in cocoa powder with the dry ingredients and add chocolate chips to the batter for a decadent treat.
Before cooking each pancake, place a few berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries) on top of the batter. As the pancake cooks, the berries will slightly break down, creating a fruity swirl.
Gently fold in berries, sliced bananas, or chopped apples into the batter for a fruity twist. You can also add citrus zest for extra flavor.
Mix in a handful of mini chocolate chips for a sweet, melty surprise. This pairs especially well with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Add a dollop of pumpkin puree and a generous sprinkling of pumpkin spice to the batter for a fall-inspired stack.
