Old Fashioned Pancakes
A classic recipe for fluffy pancakes that evoke warmth and nostalgia, perfect for cozy mornings and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour The foundation for a light, fluffy pancake.
- 2 tablespoons Sugar Adds a touch of sweetness.
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder Ensures pancakes rise and have a fluffy texture.
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt Elevates the flavors.
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk Use whole milk for creaminess; alternatives like almond or oat milk work well.
- 1 large Egg Gives structure and richness; a flax egg is a great vegan substitute.
- 2 tablespoons Butter Melted for that wonderfully buttery flavor; can be substituted with coconut oil.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
Cooking
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Serving
- Stack the pancakes high, serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes. Keep the heat medium to avoid burnt outsides.
