Old Fashioned Pancakes

🥞 Old-Fashioned Pancakes Recipe

Servings: 8–10 pancakes | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 15 min

🛒 Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

🍳 Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.

3. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. (Batter should be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix or pancakes will be dense.)

4. Heat pan: Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter or oil the surface.

5. Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2 minutes). Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve: Stack them high and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.

👉 Tips for Extra Fluffiness:

Don’t overmix the batter.

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.

For richer flavor, replace half the milk with buttermilk.
