How to Make Old Fashioned Pancakes
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay — don’t overmix!
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm: Stack your pancakes and serve with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes Every Time
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise.
- Don’t overmix the batter — overmixing can make pancakes tough.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
- Try adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas to the batter for a fun twist.
