Classic old-fashioned pancakes that are fluffy, buttery, and perfect for a comforting breakfast. These easy-to-make pancakes combine simple pantry ingredients with a straightforward technique to deliver a delicious stack every time.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the milk, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture just until combined, leaving a few lumps intact to avoid overmixing which can make pancakes tough.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
  5. Flip & Finish: Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2 minutes. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings for a classic breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; leaving some lumps will result in fluffier pancakes.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to reduce the amount of butter needed and prevent sticking.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
  • The vanilla extract is optional but can add a nice subtle flavor to the pancakes.
  • For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
