Ingredients
10ozflour, by weight(2 cups, measured)
1tbspbaking powder
1/2tspsea salt
1tspcinnamon
1/4tspground cloves
pinch of nutmeg
1extra large egg
1 1/2cupsmilk
4tbspunsalted buttermelted
2tbspbrown sugarpacked
1/2cupshredded carrotsyou don't need more than 1 carrot
butter or oil for the pan
maple syrup
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to combine.
In another bowl, beat the egg with a whisk and stream in the milk while whisking. Whisk in the butter and the sugar.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, while stirring. Add in the shredded carrots. Now, just like with the Chocolate Chunk Muffins post, you need to leave lumps in the batter. Do not stir until smooth. If you don’t overmix and you leave those lumps in there, you will be rewarded with a fluffy, light, tender and soft pancake.
Heat up a nonstick skillet or a griddle over medium heat and add a teaspoon of butter or oil. Pour the the desired amount of batter into the pan (I like smaller pancakes because they are easier to flip). Let the pancake cook until bubbles start to become visible on the surface (this usually takes 2-3 minutes). These little bubbles tell you that it is time to flip the pancake. Cook for another minute or so, and remove the pancake from the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter.
