The Best Good Old-Fashioned Pancakes are soft, fluffy, and made from scratch with pantry staples, creating a comforting breakfast that beats any boxed mix.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter.
Mix until smooth (do not overmix).
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or pan over medium-high heat.
Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Flip pancakes when bubbles form and edges appear set.
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze pancakes for longer storage and reheat as needed.
Avoid adding syrup before storing to prevent sogginess.
