Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix oil, beaten egg, and 1 cup of milk in a bowl.
- Sift dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar, baking powder) together and add to the wet mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk to the batter and mix well.
- Fry on a hot griddle until golden brown on both sides.
Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before frying. If you’re out of milk, you can substitute with almond milk or any other non-dairy milk. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract can enhance the flavor. Ensure your griddle is hot enough to achieve that perfect golden brown color, which usually indicates the pancakes are ready to flip.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They pair beautifully with a side of scrambled eggs or bacon for a complete breakfast. For a fun twist, top with peanut butter or Nutella, making it a delightful treat for kids.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave briefly until warmed through. For a crispy texture, you can reheat them on a skillet over low heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using, as it may thicken slightly. However, for the best texture, it's recommended to cook them fresh.
What can I add to the pancake batter for extra flavor?
You can mix in ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture. For a richer taste, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients, especially if you're a fan of chocolate recipes.
Are these pancakes suitable for freezing?
Absolutely! These pancakes freeze well. Allow them to cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in between and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to 2 months. To reheat, toast or microwave directly from the freezer.
