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

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the beer and melted butter, and whisk until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter.
  5. 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.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
