Learn how to make the best homemade pancake recipe using basic ingredients for perfectly light and fluffy breakfast griddle cakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This is your dry mix.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will see bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set when it is time to flip.
  8. Flip and cook until the second side is golden brown.
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy homemade pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking. This allows the baking powder to activate fully.
  • If your pancakes are too thin, add one more tablespoon of flour to the batter. If they are too thick, add one more tablespoon of milk.
  • Use medium heat. If the heat is too high, the outside will burn before the inside cooks, resulting in tough pancakes.
