     Pancakes are my family's favorite breakfast! I've been making this Pancake Recipe for years and it is my favorite! I even keep a homemade pancake mix on hand which makes breakfast super easy!

    Pancakes stacked with butter and syrup

    I probably make pancakes for the family at least once a week.

    My boys love them, I think my oldest son could eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

    Can you blame him though? Fluffy carbs covered in syrup! I'm all in!

    How to make Homemade Pancakes:

    This pancake recipe is very easy to make, and you probably already have the ingredients in your pantry!

    Gather your ingredients mix your dry ingredients then add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix them all together well, but do not over mix.

    Once your skillet is nice and hot, oil or butter than pan then cook the pancakes.

    Top with butter, syrup, and whatever other topping you love on pancakes!

    Ingredients:

    • All-Purpose Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Baking Soda
    • Sugar
    • Eggs
    • Milk
    • Unsalted Butter (melted)
    • Non-stick cooking spray or butter for the pan

    ingredients for homemade pancakes

    Directions:

    Step One - Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.

    mixing dry ingredients together for the pancakes

    Step Two - In a separate bowl beat egg then add milk and melted butter.

    Step Three - Now mix together wet and dry ingredients.

    adding the milk and eggs to the pancake mix

    Step Four - Heat a frying pan with a small amount of butter or non-stick cooking spray. When your pan is heated pour a small amount of batter, about ¼ cup.

    Step Five - When you see bubbles forming on your pancake it's ready to be flipped! Cook each side until fully cooked.

    What makes a pancake fluffy?

    There are a few key ingredients and tricks to making a fluffy pancake. Here's how to make sure you have the fluffiest pancakes!

    First, when you are mixing your dry ingredients and wet ingredients together be careful not to overmix.

    When you overmix pancake batter it causes them to become heavy and flat.

    Second, let's go back to the dry ingredients.

    The baking soda and baking powder are the key ingredients that cause the pancakes to become fluffy. They create a chemical reaction that create bubbles when baking.

    Can I make this mix ahead of time?

    As easy as it is to make these, sometimes I keep the dry ingredients mixed ahead of time so all I need to do is add the wet ingredients.

    My Homemade Pancake Mix make this recipe even that much easier!

    What to top your pancakes with:

    Pancakes are a quick and easy breakfast, lunch or dinner to make! The next best part about making pancakes is topping them with your favorite toppings!

    Here are some of my favorite pancake toppings.

    1. Butter - when they come off the pan, put a slap of butter on each pancake. Yes, put butter on EVERY pancake. Even if you are stacking the pancakes like in my pictures you want some butter on every one.
    2. Syrup - This is a MUST for all pancakes. I have a great recipe for Homemade Pancake Syrup on the blog! Store bought will work great as well!
    3. Fruit - I love topping my pancakes with fresh fruit. Strawberries, blueberries and bananas are some of my favorites.
    4. Whipped Cream - Whipped cream is the perfect sweet topping for pancakes. Add some chocolate chips on top of the whipped cream too!

      This was a great recipe it was easy to follow and the pancakes come super fluffy! I'm a bariatric woman so these were not too sweet after I added my blueberries, but they were still sweet enough for the 1 year to enjoy without syrup.!

      These have got to be the fluffiest pancakes I've ever made! Eventhough I added more milk to thin out the batter, it still turned out fluffy. I was so happy haha... I will be using this recipe from now on, thank you so much!
