<human>: I want to know how to make the perfect pancake.
<bot>: To make the perfect pancake, you will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, butter or oil, milk and a few optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips. Start by mixing together the dry ingredients in a large bowl—flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter or oil, and milk until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Finally, fold in any desired add-ins if using. Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat and then spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are slightly browned. Flip the pancakes and cook them until both sides are golden brown. Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
