Old Fashioned Pancakes
Classic tender pancakes made from a simple batter of flour, milk, egg and melted butter.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- butter or neutral oil for the pan
Instructions
Cooking
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a second bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla until combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir just until no dry flour remains. The batter should be thick but pourable, with a few lumps. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Warm a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter or oil.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, leaving space between them.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until golden brown. Keep finished pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.
Notes
Makes about 8 pancakes at 1/4 cup of batter each, so 2 pancakes per serving. Use fresh baking powder for the best rise. Nutrition values are an estimate for 2 pancakes calculated from the ingredients and will vary.
