Old Fashioned Pancakes
These fluffy old fashioned pancakes are perfect for a delightful breakfast, bringing warmth and comfort to your table.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour The base for those fluffy clouds of goodness.
- 2 tablespoons sugar Just a hint of sweetness, adjust based on your taste.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder The magic ingredient that makes them rise.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness beautifully.
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk Whole or almond milk works great; buttermilk can add a richer flavor.
- 1 large egg Adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients together.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter For that irresistible buttery flavor, or substitute coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A splash of vanilla adds warmth to every bite.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
Cooking
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm off the griddle with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Notes
Consider adding chocolate chips, fresh berries, or cinnamon for flavor variations. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
