Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee granules until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Cook: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve: Serve the coffee pancakes warm, topped with syrup, whipped cream, or your preferred toppings for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Add chocolate chips to the batter for a mocha-inspired twist that enhances the coffee flavor.
- Use strong brewed coffee in place of some of the milk to intensify the coffee taste in the pancakes.
