Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Don’t worry about lumps; they are fine!
  • Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Stack the pancakes and top with syrup, berries, or whipped cream as you like.

Notes

How to Serve Old Fashioned Pancakes
Serve these pancakes hot off the griddle with your favorite toppings. A drizzle of maple syrup, a handful of fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream can take your pancakes to the next level.
How to Store Old Fashioned Pancakes
If you have leftovers, let them cool down and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Just reheat in the microwave or toaster when you’re ready to enjoy!
Tips to Make Old Fashioned Pancakes
  • Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay!
  • For extra flavor, try adding chocolate chips or banana slices right into the batter.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest of the batch.
Variation (if any)
You can easily turn these pancakes into lemon pancakes by adding lemon zest and a little lemon juice to the batter. They’ll be fresh and zesty!
