Ingredients

Pancake

  • tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • tablespoons white sugar
  • tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • teaspoon baking powder ¼ tsp + ⅛ tsp

Optional Toppings

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  • In a 375 ml (1½-cup) microwave-safe mug, combine the melted butter, evaporated milk, and white sugar. Stir until well combined.
  • Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until the batter becomes smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Microwave for 1 minute.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with wet batter, microwave for an additional 15 to 30 seconds. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the pancake dry.
  • Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup, if desired.
