Fluffy Homemade Pancakes
Serves 4
Say goodbye to store-bought pancake mix—these homemade pancakes are easy to make from scratch! They're thick, fluffy, and delicious. My family loves them with butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
Equipment
- Zwilling Madura Nonstick Skillet (my favorite for eggs and pancakes)
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 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
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are ok. If the batter is very thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen it slightly.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush lightly with butter or oil. Use a ⅓-cup scoop to pour the batter into the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are puffed, golden brown, and cooked through in the middle. Turn the heat to low as needed so that the middles cook through without burning the outsides.
- Serve with maple syrup.
