Ingredients

½ cup whole milk (113 g)

1 large egg

1 ½ tsp canola oil, plus more for greasing

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (57 g)

½ cup all-purpose flour (64 g)

2 tsp granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp kosher salt

Optional toppings: maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) and place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, canola oil, and melted butter. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir until just combined.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, brush with canola oil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  4. Transfer batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe dime- or nickel-sized circles onto the skillet.
  5. Cook 1–2 minutes until edges set and bottoms are golden. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately or keep warm on the wire rack in the oven while cooking the rest.

Notes

  • For thicker batter, chill for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
  • Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • For dairy-free, replace milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Try adding cinnamon, vanilla, or mini chocolate chips for flavor variations.
