1 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons milk any variety
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Melt the Butter
- Place the butter in a microwave-safe mug (preferably 8 to 12 ounces in capacity). Heat in the microwave in 10–15 second intervals until fully melted.
Incorporate the Wet Ingredients
- Add the granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Combine the Dry Ingredients
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the mug. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and no large lumps remain. A few small lumps are acceptable.
Microwave Cooking
- Microwave the mug on high for approximately 60 seconds. The pancake should rise and appear set on top. If additional cooking time is necessary, heat in 10-second intervals until the center is cooked through.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the mug to cool for a couple of minutes. Serve the pancake warm with desired toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
To prepare a gluten-free version of this recipe, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend that includes xanthan gum or a binding agent. The texture may vary slightly, but the result will remain tender and enjoyable.
