• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour: The base of your pancake batter.
• 1 tablespoon Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness.
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder: Ensures your pancakes are light and fluffy.
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
• 1 cup Elaichi Flavored Milk: Infuses the pancakes with cardamom flavor.
• 1 Large Egg: Binds the ingredients together and adds richness.
• 2 tablespoons Melted Butter: Adds a rich, buttery flavor and helps with texture.
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cardamom: For an extra burst of cardamom flavor.
• Butter or Oil: For greasing the pan.

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

1.1. Gather and Measure
Collect all your ingredients and measure them out. This will streamline the cooking process and ensure you don’t miss any crucial steps.
1.2. Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Make the Pancake Batter

2.1. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cardamom. This ensures that the baking powder is evenly distributed.
2.2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the Elaichi Flavored Milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
2.3. Blend Wet and Dry
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Over-mixing can make the pancakes dense.
2.4. Rest the Batter
Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to start working and the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

3.1. Test the Heat
To check if the pan is ready, drop a small amount of batter onto the skillet. If it sizzles, the pan is hot enough.
3.2. Pour and Cook
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
3.3. Flip and Finish
Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
3.4. Keep Warm
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in an oven set to 200°F (90°C) while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

4.1. Add Toppings
Stack your fluffy cardamom pancakes and top with your favorite toppings. Try fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of whipped cream.
4.2. Garnish
For an extra touch of cardamom flavor, sprinkle a little ground cardamom on top of the pancakes before serving.
4.3. Pair with Sides
Serve with a side of fruit or yogurt for a complete breakfast experience. A glass of Elaichi Flavored Milk complements the pancakes perfectly.

Step 5: Experiment and Share

5.1. Customize
Feel free to experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit. Add them to the batter just before cooking.
5.2. Share Your Creation
