Description

 

These Old-Fashioned Pancakes are a simple and classic breakfast that’s perfect for any day of the week. Fluffy, golden, and delicious, they come together with pantry staples for a quick and satisfying treat. Top them with syrup, butter, or fresh fruit for a breakfast everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

 

  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for even better results.
  • Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
  • For a fun twist, add chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts to the batter.
