Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents, which is vital for fluffy pancakes.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the brewed coffee, egg, melted butter, and minced garlic. This blend infuses the pancakes with a rich coffee flavor and a subtle savory depth from the garlic.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gently. Stir just until the batter comes together; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light and tender.
- Preheat Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface—about 2-3 minutes—then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve Warm: Plate the pancakes and enjoy immediately with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra special touch.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use a dark roast or espresso for brewing your coffee.
- The minced garlic adds a subtle unique flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while cooking the remainder.
- Try adding chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor variations.
