A classic, old-fashioned pancake recipe passed down through generations, offering fluffy, golden pancakes perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch. These easy-to-make pancakes use simple ingredients and deliver a deliciously satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure you have everything at hand before starting.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt to ensure an even distribution of ingredients and a light, airy pancake texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, but avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  4. Preheat the Cooking Surface: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it is hot enough so the batter sizzles upon contact.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour or scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear dry.
  6. Flip Pancakes: Use a spatula to flip each pancake carefully, cooking the other side until golden brown, about another 2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • The original recipe called for 1 teaspoon salt but was reduced to ¼ teaspoon based on feedback; adjust salt to taste.
  • Use a lightly oiled non-stick griddle or skillet for best results and to prevent sticking.
  • Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if some lumps remain for fluffier pancakes.
  • Serve pancakes immediately for the best texture, or keep warm in a low oven.
