This morning, the kids were off from school and wanted pancakes. I decided to treat them to pancakes from scratch. Making pancake batter from scratch is nearly as easy as opening a box – it’s just a few simple ingredients that you whisk together.

minutesIngredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 TBS baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1.25 cups skim milk
1 egg
3 TBS melted butter
Optional, blueberries, chocolate chips, strawberries, bananas, etc.
Directions
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, preferably with a spout for easy pouring of the batter.
- In a large liquid measuring cup, measure milk and add egg.
- Whisk the egg and milk together.
- In microwave safe bowl, melt the butter for 45 to 60 seconds.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the milk and egg mixture. Whisk two to three times just to gently combine.
- Add the melted butter and whisk until batter forms. Don’t overwhisk.
- Heat a griddle. Then spray with non-stick cooking spray or a pat of butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for silver dollar pancakes. Add optional ingredients at this point, like chocolate chips or thin slices of fruit.
- Let the batter cook in the pan. Once bubbles begin to form and pop, flip pancake to cook the other side. Cook for 1-2 more minutes.
- Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
Notes
- This is a simple recipe that you can adapt by adding many different items, like nuts, smashed bananas, or even pumpkin puree.
