Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups beer
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the beer and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional minute or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
