This classic Good Old-Fashioned Pancake recipe brings a nostalgic touch to your breakfast table. Passed down through generations and tested by the Allrecipes Test Kitchen, these fluffy, golden pancakes are simple to make and perfect for a comforting morning meal.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all the ingredients to ensure smooth preparation.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, white sugar, and salt to evenly incorporate and aerate the mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, melted butter, and crack in the large egg. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Preheat Griddle or Pan: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Proper preheating ensures even cooking and browning.
  5. Cook Pancakes (First Side): Using approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, pour onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Flip and Cook (Second Side): Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately another 2 minutes.
  7. Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the pan remains lightly greased as needed.
  8. Serve: Stack pancakes on plates and serve warm with your favorite syrup or toppings. Enjoy your classic homemade pancakes!

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; small lumps are okay.
  • Use butter or a neutral oil for greasing the griddle to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust salt and sugar levels to taste based on preference.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; keep warm in a low oven if needed.
  • Add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips can be mixed into the batter before cooking.
