Pancakes for 1


Sometimes I'm the only one who wants pancakes for breakfast (or I'm the only one home when making my breakfast). Pancakes don't have to be a "batch" item. You can make just one pancake. I now do this a couple of times per week for myself.

for one 5-inch pancake:

2 tablespoons flour
between 1/8 and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (it's basically 1/16 of a tablespoon)
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
about 2 teaspoons oil
about 2 tablespoons milk
splash of vanilla extract


Heat a small skillet over Medium (I use a non-stick that has lost most of its non-stickness).

In a small bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Add liquids and stir. (I use a small rubber spatula to both mix the batter and scrape/pour into the hot skillet. Saves some washing.) 

Add a bit of oil or butter to the hot skillet. Pour all of the batter into the hot, buttered skillet. Cook, flip, cook, serve.

I typically eat just one large pancake alongside a scrambled egg, when I have a "pancake breakfast." (And when I scramble the egg, I reuse the pancake batter bowl, after a quick rinse. Again, saves washing.) I top the pancake with fruit and consider this a complete meal for me.

Just a note: because eggs set at a lower temperature than a flour/milk mixture, an egg-less pancake batter should not be too thin, and they need to cook thoroughly on the bottom side before flipping.
