Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Wet Ingredients:

Instructions
 

At Home Preparation:

  • Measure milk and melted butter into sealable jars.
  • Crack the egg into a small container or use powdered eggs.

At the Campsite:

  • Combine dry and wet ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir gently until just combined, leaving small lumps for fluffiness.

Cooking Pancakes on a Griddle:

  • Prepare the heat: Place the griddle over a campfire or camping stove. Ensure even heat.
  • Grease the griddle with butter or oil.
  • Pour batter onto the griddle, forming 4-5 inch circles. Space out to avoid overlap.
  • Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear firm.
  • Flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Wrap cooked pancakes in foil to keep them warm while preparing additional batches.
