Top o' the Morning to you.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon Irish cream liquor (such as Baileys)
1 3/4 cup (7 ounces) cake flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons butter for cooking pancakes and to garnish
Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
Whisk butter, sugar, salt, and egg in a medium bowl.
Whisk in milk and Irish cream liquor until combined.
Add flour and baking powder to the bowl, then stir until just about smooth (see note).
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet until melted over medium-low heat. Scoop as many 1/4 cup portions of batter into pan as will fit without crowding, then gently spread out into a disc shape.
When bubbles appear on the surface, flip the pancakes over and continue to cook until done, about 1-2 minutes more.
Repeat with remaining batter (see note).
Serve warm with butter and syrup.
Note: Cake flour can get easily packed if you measure with a cup. For best results, scale-out the flour or gently spoon the flour into the cup. If the first pancake is too thick, gently stir in a tablespoon or two of milk (or Baileys). Avoid over-mixing the dough or else the batter will become too tough—your final batter will contain some lumps. When cooking the subsequent batches of pancakes, you may only need a slight bit, if any, extra butter for the pan.
