This recipe for Easy Homemade Pancakes delivers fluffy, tender pancakes using simple pantry ingredients. Quickly whipped up in a bowl, these pancakes cook to golden perfection and are perfect served with maple syrup for a classic breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups milk, plus more as needed
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, or neutral oil, plus more for the pan

For Serving

  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined to ensure even distribution of rising agents.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg together until smooth; then gradually whisk in the melted butter or neutral oil to incorporate fat for tenderness.
  3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach a pourable consistency.
  4. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and promote browning.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
  6. Serve: Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking remaining pancakes. Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top for a classic breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy; lumps are okay.
  • If batter is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time to get proper consistency.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results to prevent sticking and achieve even browning.
  • Cooked pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
  • Butter or neutral oil can be used in the batter and for greasing the pan.
