Preparation

Step 1

To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and melt the butter. I use a small glass dish and microwave the butter for about 30 seconds.

In a large mixing, crack open the egg and beat it well. Then add the milk and butter and give it a good stir.

Add the sugar, and then add the flour a little at a time. I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup so I could split the flour into 4 portions, stirring it up before adding more.

Once all of the flour has been added, then add the baking powder and salt.

Spray the pan with cooking spray and then pour in the batter.

By now, your oven should be preheated. Set the timer for 20 minutes and put the pan into the oven.

While you could put more butter on top of the pancakes, I didn’t think it was necessary. By cutting down on the butter, these pancakes are much healthier than the traditional version. They weren’t fried in a lot of butter, resulting in a substantially lower amount of butter in each pancake square than when you make them in a frying pan or griddle.
