Introduction: Pancakes are a classic breakfast dish that is loved by many. However, making a big batch of pancakes can be wasteful if you’re only cooking for yourself. This recipe for one serves up a delicious, fluffy pancake that is perfect for a solo breakfast.

Pancake Recipe for One: This recipe yields one pancake and takes about 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they are thoroughly combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with cooking spray or butter.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour it onto the pan. Cook until the edges start to look dry and the surface is covered in bubbles, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute, or until the other side is golden brown.
7. Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate.

Tips:

• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1/4 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
• To add some flavor to your pancake, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
• If you want to keep your pancake warm while you cook the rest of your breakfast, place it on a plate in a warm oven (set to 200°F) until you’re ready to serve.

Conclusion: This pancake recipe for one is a quick and easy breakfast option that can be made with just a few simple ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different flours, sweeteners, and flavorings to make it your own. With this recipe, you can enjoy a delicious pancake without the waste of making a big batch.
