Enjoy easy, everyday pancakes with butter and maple syrup. If you’re looking for a basic pancake recipe, this is an excellent choice!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces)
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • oil (for griddle)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder; whisk to blend.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs; add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Do not over-mix the batter.
  3. Rub a large skillet or griddle with oil or shortening; heat over medium heat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see that there are bubbles bursting around the edges of the pancakes, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully to cook the other side for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer, or until browned.
  4. While cooking the remaining pancakes, stack pancakes on a heated platter or baking pan. Cover loosely with foil and keep warm in a warming drawer or a preheated 200 F oven. Serve the pancakes hot with butter and syrup.
