Recipe ingredients
Ingredient notes
- Baking powder: This chemical leavener generates bubbles in the pancake batter to help make them light and fluffy; just like grandma or your favorite diner made.
- Milk: Cow’s milk or any milk alternative, such as cashew, almond, oat, or soy. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
Step by step instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until smooth.

- Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium high heat, greasing if desired. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately ¼ cup for each pancake.

- When bubbles start to form on the first side, carefully flip and brown the second side. Repeat with remaining batter (you should have about 8 pancakes). Serve hot with butter and maple syrup or fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Do I need a pancake dispenser?

Although a pancake dispenser isn’t completely necessary for making delicious pancakes at home, after testing a bunch, I loved how easy the Norpro Batter Dispenser made making breakfast. It has an even pour and was way less messy getting my batter into the pan, and I am now a pancake dispenser convert! You can get it for $20.66 at Amazon, and you can use it for dispensing cupcake batter and sauces, too.
Recipe tips and variations
- Yield: This recipe makes about four 2-pancake servings, depending on how big you like you flapjacks. Feel free to multiply the recipe as desired; it doubles and triples beautifully.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: Make the batter the night before and keep it refrigerated until the morning.
- Freezer: Arrange cooled pancakes in a single layer, not touching, on a small baking sheet or plate. Freeze until the pancakes are individually frozen, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster from frozen (yes, you can just pop them in the toaster!).
- Oiling the skillet: If you love crispy edges on your pancakes, you’ll want to lightly grease your skillet with oil or butter before adding the batter. If using a non-stick skillet, you can skip the fat and cook the flapjacks in a dry skillet for a smooth, brown surface.
- Keep them warm: To keep pancakes warm while preparing them, or to store them for an imminent brunch, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Set a rack over a baking sheet and place in the oven, then transfer cooked pancakes to the rack until serving time.
- Vegan Pancakes: For a hearty plant-based breakfast, try my Vegan Pancakes made with oat milk, flax seeds, and coconut oil.
- Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: These luscious pancakes are lemon-scented, light as air, and make every day a little sunnier. Make them as-is, or add blueberries for the best breakfast ever.
- Healthy Pancake Recipe (shown below): If you’re looking for wholesome breakfast ideas, keep a batch of homemade Healthy Pancake Mix in the pantry. Whenever the mood strikes, mix up batter for as few as 3 to 4 pancakes at a time. It’s ideal for busy school mornings and will keep the kids full until lunch time.
