🥞 Old-Fashioned Pancakes

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• flour

• sugar

• baking powder

• salt

This keeps the pancakes light and lump-free.

Step 2 — Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk:

• milk

• egg

• melted butter

• vanilla extract (optional)

Step 3 — Bring It Together

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
Use a spoon or spatula to mix gently until just combined.
➡️ The batter should be slightly lumpy — don’t overmix!

Step 4 — Heat the Pan

Warm a skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat.
Brush lightly with butter.

Step 5 — Cook the Pancakes

Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly as needed.

Step 6 — Serve Warm

Serve immediately with:

• maple syrup

• butter

• fresh berries

• honey

• chocolate chips

• or anything you love!

💡 Tips for the Fluffiest Pancakes

✨ Don’t overmix the batter
A few lumps are good — they make pancakes soft and airy.

✨ Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes
This activates the baking powder for better rise.

✨ Cook on medium heat
Too high = burnt outside, raw inside.

✨ Use fresh baking powder
Old baking powder = flat pancakes.

✨ Swap milk for buttermilk
For even softer, richer pancakes.
