These Easy Homemade Pancakes are fluffy, golden, and perfect for a quick breakfast or weekend brunch, made with simple pantry staples.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and melted butter (and vanilla if using).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices to the batter for extra flavor.
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra fluffiness.
- Whole wheat flour can be substituted for a healthier version.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.
