Ingredients

  • 1 c. self-rising flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. Wesson oil
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 c. milk

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.

  3. Pour batter onto a hot, greased skillet or griddle.
  4. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to regular flour. Experiment with adding vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor, or substitute the milk with almond milk for a dairy-free version.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful breakfast treat. They also pair well with crispy bacon or sausage for a heartier meal. For a twist, try serving them alongside Frosted Carrot Cake for a fun brunch idea, or use them as a base for a breakfast stack with your favorite toppings.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or pop them in the toaster for a quick and crispy option. You can also freeze them for up to two months for later enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the 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 cooking, as it may thicken while sitting. However, for the best texture, fresh batter is recommended.

What can I use instead of Wesson oil?

You can substitute Wesson oil with any neutral oil like vegetable oil, canola oil, or even melted butter for a richer flavor. If you prefer a healthier option, avocado oil works well and has a high smoke point.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! Simply double the quantities of all ingredients and follow the same instructions. If you're making a large batch, consider keeping the pancakes warm in an oven set to low heat while you cook the rest.
