Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 drops yellow food color more if needed

Toppings

  • Margarine
  • Sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then add the milk, melted butter or oil, salt and yellow food color. Mix until incorporated. Add more yelow coloring if needed.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter, as this can result in tough hotcakes.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each hotcake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Carefully flip the hotcakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Transfer the cooked hotcakes to a plate. Top with margarine and sugar. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

To Store: Allow hotcakes to cool completely before storing. Once cooled down, store in airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a 1-2 days.
