Make classic, diner-style pancakes using simple pantry ingredients. This recipe delivers fluffy results every time.

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 (or buttermilk substitute)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  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.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. The griddle 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. You know it is time to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  9. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For buttermilk pancakes without buttermilk, mix 1 1/4 cups of regular milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To keep pancakes warm while you cook the rest, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
  • You can freeze cooked pancakes. Place cooled pancakes in a freezer bag, separating layers with wax paper. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
