Make light, airy, diner-style pancakes from scratch. This easy recipe uses simple ingredients for perfectly fluffy breakfast treats every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 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, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. You can test the temperature by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle 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 golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip only once.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. This recipe is a great alternative to using meal delivery companies for a quick weekend breakfast.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer buttermilk pancakes, substitute 1 1/4 cups of buttermilk for the milk and reduce the baking powder to 1 teaspoon.
  • Use a low-heat setting if your pancakes are browning too quickly before cooking through.
