Description
Fluffy, golden pancakes made from scratch using simple pantry staples. These old-fashioned pancakes are perfect for a classic breakfast or weekend brunch.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg, then stir in the melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set.
- Flip and cook until the other side is browned. Serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter for fluffier pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for better texture.
- Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or spices for variation.
- Swap half the milk for buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
