Beer Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup beer (pale ale or lager)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another mixing bowl, beat the egg until frothy. Add the beer, milk, and melted butter and mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
5. Spoon the batter onto the pan, making pancakes of the desired size.
6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or two until the pancake is cooked through.
7. Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, fruit, or toppings of your choice.

Verdict:

Beer pancakes are a fun and unique twist on traditional pancakes. The beer adds a slightly tangy and bitter flavor to the batter, while also helping to create a light and fluffy texture. These pancakes are perfect for a weekend brunch or a fun breakfast for dinner.
