Make tall, light, and airy pancakes from scratch using this simple one-bowl method for classic, old-fashioned flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter last.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a medium heat setting; too high will burn the outside before the inside cooks through.
  • For a classic buttermilk flavor without buttermilk, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to your regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding it to the batter.
