Scratch Pancakes

Scratch pancakes are soft, fluffy, and made completely from simple pantry ingredients—no boxed mix needed. Lightly golden on the outside with a tender, airy center, they come together quickly for the perfect homemade breakfast. Whether topped with butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit, these pancakes are a classic way to start the day.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Cook Time: 25 Minutes | Serves: 6 Medium Pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 Cups AP Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/4 Cups Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 Tbsp Melted Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • Additional Butter

Directions:

  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl
  • Mix the wet ingredients together in a bowl
  • Combine the two and mix just enough so the flour isn’t visible but the batter is still lumpy
  • Rest for 10 Minutes
  • Get a pan over medium to medium-high heat and add a tbsp or two of butter 
  • Then use a 1/4 cup measurement to get small equal sized pancakes
  • If you want bigger pancakes, use a 1/3 cup measurement or even 1/2 for big pancakes
  • Place any toppings you want in before you flip it, I personally like blueberries
  • Cook about 2-3 minutes on the first side or until golden brown, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes
  • Remove, add butter and syrup (Optional) or whatever you desire
  • Serve and enjoy!
