How to Make Old Fashioned Flapjacks

  1. Preheat your griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Test the heat by dropping a few drops of water onto the surface – if they bead up and sizzle, it's ready.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Lightly grease the preheated griddle or skillet.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve your delicious Old-Fashioned Flapjacks immediately with real butter and real maple syrup. Enjoy!
