Classic Old-Fashioned Pancakes made from scratch with a simple batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, egg, and melted butter. These fluffy, golden pancakes are perfect for a cozy breakfast and can be served with butter and maple syrup for a traditional touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently stir using a spoon or spatula until just combined; the batter should remain slightly lumpy to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the pancakes.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Flip & Finish: Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Serve Warm: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with butter and maple syrup for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle for best results to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes.
  • For extra flavor, add berries or chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
