Ingredients for Homemade Pancakes

  • All-purpose flour: This is the base of these pancakes; ½ cup of whole wheat flour can be substituted.
  • Sugar: A bit of sugar sweetens the batter, you can add extra for a sweeter pancake.
  • Baking powder & soda: These make the pancakes fluffy.
  • Milk: Adds moisture and creates the batter. Any kind of milk works.
  • Eggs: They bind everything together and add richness.
  • Melted butter: A bit of fat adds flavor and helps with browning. Replace butter with vegetable oil or coconut oil.
  • Vanilla extract: Is added for flavor – you can also add a pinch of cinnamon.

How to Make Pancakes

You’ll love how simple it is to makethis homemade pancake recipe.

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients (recipe below). In another bowl, whisk wet ingredients.
  2. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir just until combined; the batter should be a bit lumpy.
  3. Cook on a griddle or skillet.

Serve up a stack with butter and maple syrup.

If cooking in batches, transfer cooked pancakes to a warm (200°F) oven. Place an open casserole dish or sheet pan in the oven. The pancakes will stay nice and hot, and you can serve them all at once at the table.

Tips for The Best Pancakes

  • Don’t Overmix: The batter should be slightly lumpy and pour easily. If it’s too thick add a splash of milk. If it’s too runny add a bit of flour to get the right consistency.
  • Medium Heat: Cook over medium heat. It takes longer but the results are better (a non-stick skillet works best).
  • Use Oil: Butter can burn after a couple of batches. For golden pancakes, heat the oil and gently wipe it with paper towels before adding the pancake batter to the pan.
  • Additions: If adding fruit like blueberries or sliced bananas (or chocolate chips), add them to the pancakes in the skillet instead of stirring them into the batter. This will keep them from burning on the pan.

Favorite Pancake Toppings

  • Butter and real maple syrup, of course!
  • Fresh fruit like sliced strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries…or all four!!
  • Peanut butter, Nutella, or jam.

Make Ahead and Storing

This pancake recipe is great to prepare ahead and then to have pancakes to warm for busy weekday mornings.

Cooked pancakes can be refrigerated for up to 5 days and kept in the freezer for 2 months. Seal them in a freezer bag or an airtight container for storage (with a piece of parchment in between).

To Reheat Pancakes

Toaster: Place homemade pancakes straight into the toaster and toast until slightly crisp and heated through.

Microwave: For softer pancakes, reheat them in the microwave. Cooking times can vary but you can account for about 20 to 30 seconds per serving.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.

  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Gently stir the batter until just combined, the batter should be slightly lumpy.

  • Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat (or to 350°F). Lightly grease with butter or vegetable oil.

  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated griddle for each pancake. Cook on one side until bubbles form and begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.

  • Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate or a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter.

If you prefer a sweeter pancake, add a little bit more sugar.
To Make Large Batches: If making large batches, preheat the oven to 175-200°F and keep a baking sheet in the oven. Keep pancakes warm on the baking sheet.
To Make Whole Wheat Pancakes: Substitute 1/2 cup of white flour for whole wheat flour.
To Make Ahead: Cook and cool pancakes. Separate pancakes with a layer of waxed paper and place in a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave, toaster, or oven
