Instructions

  1. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

  2. Whisk in melted butter, egg, and milk until combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Pour batter into the hot skillet, about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the sides and center of each pancake. Flip and cook until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Why this How to Make Old-Fashioned Pancakes works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This How to Make Old-Fashioned Pancakes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
