How To Make Easy Pancakes In The Microwave

Since these pancakes are so easy to make, you will have time to dress them up anyway you want. They go great with good old fashion maple syrup and butter but why not add some Nutella?

Or maybe peanut butter and fresh jam? No matter how you top them they are super fluffy and so soft you might trick some people into thinking they came right off the griddle.

Your prep time will be just a few minutes and your cook time only two! This is enough to serve my family of four. If you need more (or less) just use the handy ingredient calculator below.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 2 Tbs. Salted Butter (melted)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 tsp. Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Tbs. Vegetable Oil
  • 3/4 Cup Half and Half (can substitute milk)

In a mixing bowl, stir together your flour, baking powder, and sugar. Then add in your melted butter, egg, vegetable oil, and half and half.

Whisk together until creamy and well blended.

Put a sheet of your non grease paper on your microwave safe plate. Add about two tablespoons of batter on top of it.

Place another sheet of paper on top of your batter (don’t press down on it) and pour another layer of batter.

Do this until you have four or five pancake layers.

Pop them in the microwave and cook them for two to three minutes on high.

Remove add toppings and enjoy!
