Easy Homemade Pancakes
Start your weekend with these fluffy, golden Easy Homemade Pancakes that are simple to make and perfect for any topping!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder (not soda)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 egg (room temperature if possible)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- Nutella, butter, or syrup (for topping)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test if it's ready by sprinkling a few drops of water on it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Stack your pancakes high and top with your choice of Nutella, butter, or syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze individual pancakes separated by parchment paper for up to 2 months.
