Nothing beats the comfort of homemade pancakes for breakfast. Whether it’s a cozy weekend morning or a special occasion, this quick and easy recipe will deliver perfectly fluffy pancakes every time. Made with simple ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen, these pancakes are sure to become a family favorite.
Tips for the Best Pancakes:
- Don’t Overmix: A lumpy batter leads to fluffier pancakes. Overmixing activates gluten, which can result in tough pancakes.
- Keep Them Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven to keep them warm until serving.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a handful of blueberries to the batter for a twist.
Why Make Pancakes at Home?
Homemade pancakes are fresher, tastier, and more cost-effective than store-bought mixes. Plus, they’re customizable to your preferences, whether you like them plain or loaded with toppings.
How to Store Leftover Pancakes
Leftover pancakes can be easily stored for later enjoyment. Allow them to cool completely, then stack them with a piece of parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. Place the stack in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, reheat them in the microwave, toaster, or a warm skillet until heated through.

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing as this can make the pancakes dense.
-
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
-
Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
