Best Homemade Pancake Recipe

I love pancakes! If fact, I make them for my family almost every Saturday morning. I used a box mix for years until I moved to Europe (where I couldn’t find a good box mix). So, I tried several recipes until I found the perfect one. I am thrilled with this homemade pancake recipe, and I continue to use it now that I am back in the states.

I always make a big batch so that my family has leftovers for a few days. We just pop them in the toaster to warm them up, and they taste great. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 cups flour*

2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons sugar

2 1/2 cups milk

2 eggs

6 tablespoons butter , melted

* I have found that a good quality flour makes a difference in the taste of pancakes. I recommend Gold Medal flour or King Arthur flour.

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt and sugar).

2. Add the milk, egg and butter. Whisk together until smooth.

3. Melt butter on a griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto griddle.

5. Flip the pancakes when the top begins to bubble; remove when both sides are golden brown.

6. Wipe the griddle or pan between each batch and add new butter (for a yummy buttery taste!).

7. Enjoy!
