Description
Classic, fluffy pancakes made with simple pantry ingredients. These good old-fashioned pancakes are light, tender, and perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter, and egg.
- Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with desired toppings.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Add mix-ins like berries or chocolate chips for variety.
- To keep pancakes warm while cooking, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for extra tenderness and tanginess.
- Great served with maple syrup, fruit, or yogurt.
