Description
A simple and scrumptious recipe for fluffy Old-Fashioned Pancakes, perfect for a comforting breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using) until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.

- Stack and serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter for fluffy pancakes. Ensure the skillet is at the right temperature for optimal cooking.
