HOld-Fashioned Pancakes—fluffy, tender, and perfect for a hearty breakfast. These pancakes are made with simple pantry staples, just like Grandma used to make.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the skillet)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. - Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. - Combine:
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix! The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is okay. - Preheat Skillet:
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. - Cook Pancakes:
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes. - Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Topping Ideas
- Classic: Butter and maple syrup
- Fruity: Fresh berries, sliced bananas, or stewed apples
- Sweet: Chocolate chips, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar
- Nutty: Peanut butter, almond butter, or chopped nuts
These pancakes are the epitome of comfort food and will quickly become a family favorite!
