Pancakes are king when it comes to breakfast favorites. Sure, they are easy to make by using a box mix. However, making pancakes from scratch is also easy and the taste difference is definitely worth it. All you need are seven ingredients you most likely already have. If you are looking for an easy yet sure way to please your family, then homemade pancakes from scratch is the way to go!

Let’s get started by gathering our ingredients..

The 7 Ingredients you will need:

Directions:

Step 1 – Heat the griddle to a medium heat.

Step 2 – Melt the butter in the microwave. Use 20 second intervals.

Step 3 – Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, egg, and milk to your dry ingredients. (Tip: break the egg into a separate bowl to avoid getting shells into the pancake batter). Mix together until batter is smooth and consistent.

Step 4 – I like to melt a little butter on the griddle before applying the batter. It gives your pancakes a crisp, golden look.

Step 5 – Pour one scoop of batter onto the griddle. (Tip: your pancake is ready to flip when the edges become rounded and the center begins to bubble).

Step 6 – Once the pancake has been flipped, wait between 30 seconds to a minute then check.

Tip: If you are not making pancakes for immediate consumption, you can heat your oven to 200 degrees and place them in a warming pan for later.
