Ingredients for Best Ever Homemade Pancakes

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

How to Make Best Ever Homemade Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Whisk until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups milk, 2 large eggs, and 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
