Classic Old Fashioned Pancakes are fluffy, tender, and easy to make from scratch.

Cooked on a hot griddle to golden perfection, they’re ideal served warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups flour
  • 3½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and to remove lumps.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter, preparing to combine all components.
  3. Combine Batter: Whisk all ingredients together until the batter is fully combined and smooth, taking care not to overmix to maintain fluffy pancakes.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water, which prevents sticking when cooking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, watching for dry edges and bubbles forming on the surface, signaling readiness to flip.
  6. Flip and Finish: Flip each pancake and cook for another 2 minutes or until the underside is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruits, or whipped cream, and enjoy a comforting breakfast.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter; some lumps are okay.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results.
  • Adjust the milk quantity slightly if batter is too thick or thin.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier variation but expect a denser texture.
  • Butter can be replaced by oil for a dairy-free option, though flavor will vary.
