Description

This Old Fashioned Pancakes recipe delivers classic, fluffy pancakes perfect for a nostalgic breakfast or brunch. Made with simple pantry ingredients like flour, milk, eggs, and butter, these pancakes are easy to prepare and cook quickly on a griddle or skillet. Enjoy them topped with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite breakfast accompaniments.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps in the batter are normal and help maintain fluffiness.
  4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Ensure the pan is hot before cooking the pancakes.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Drop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter. Serve immediately with syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar as desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps will create fluffier pancakes.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.
  • Make sure the pan is at medium heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
  • Customize by adding blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
