There is nothing quite like waking up to the smell of homemade pancakes on a slow weekend morning. This recipe is a family favorite because it uses simple pantry staples to create a breakfast that feels like a special treat every single time.

My top tip for the best texture is to avoid overmixing the batter. Just stir until the dry ingredients are barely moistened, and do not worry if a few lumps remain in the bowl.

🧺 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2
Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter.
3
Mix until the batter is just combined and mostly smooth, being careful not to overwork it.
4
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
5
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
7
Serve hot with plenty of butter and your favorite syrup.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze them with parchment paper between layers. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster for a quick and easy weekday breakfast.
