Pancakes are always a breakfast favorite. Try them with fruit syrups, bacon or sausage crumbled into the batter, or with chocolate chips added in.

ingredients

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
syrup, for serving (maple, blueberry, etc)
butter, for serving

directions

Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl.

In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture, mixing until just moist. The batter will be lumpy. Do not overmix the batter.

Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and grease it generously.

Spoon the batter on to the griddle, about 1/4 cup per pancake.

Let the pancakes cook until bubbles form on the surface then flip them over. Cook until lightly browned.

Serve the pancakes immediately with butter and syrup. Or top with your favorite fruit.

  1. alessandra REVIEW:

    The kids love these. I make this recipe at least 2 times a month.

  2. Charleneb REVIEW:

    So easy and much better than a mix. I did add a couple drops of maple extract to the batter but that was the only change.

  3. itsallgood REVIEW:

    Added blueberries to the batter but that was the only change I made. Worked great!

  4. zazzo REVIEW:

    These are denser pancakes but mine didn't turn out like bricks (made them a couple of weeks ago). Maybe your baking powder isn't fresh?

  5. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This recipe is horrible. They are like bricks. Not light and fluffy.

  6. Madds REVIEW:

    Foolproof recipe.
