Description

This fluffy pancake recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy a stack topped with your favorite syrup!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking soda (aluminum free)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (any type)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)

Instructions

  1. To make the dry pancake mix, set out a mixing bowl or glass jar for storage. Measure the flour thoroughly by stirring the flour to fluff it in the bag, scooping the flour with a spoon into the measuring cups, and leveling the top. Then pour it into the bowl or a jar. Add the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well, or screw the top on the jar and shake vigorously to combine. (Multiply to make as many batches as you want.)
  2. When ready to use the pancake mix, preheat a large griddle or skillet to medium heat.
  3. Scoop 1 ¾ cups of the dry pancake mix (one whole batch) into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until all clumps are gone. Then add the melted butter and whisk again until smooth.
  4. When the griddle is hot, butter the griddle. Use ¼ measuring cup to scoop pancake batter onto the hot griddle. I usually like to do a test batch with one pancake first to make sure the griddle is at the right temperature. If it seems a little too hot, turn to medium-low.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Once bubbles form over the surface of the pancake, flip the pancake over and cook for another 2 minutes. Continue with the remaining batter, buttering the griddle as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

  • If using the pancake mix, you can multiply the ingredients to make larger batches for more servings.
  • Always test the griddle temperature with a small batch to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
