E-Z Pancakes
Fluffy, easy-to-make pancakes with a hint of sweetness, perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch for family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix self-rising flour, sugar, oil, egg, water, and cream together until smooth.
- If the batter is too thick, add more cream and water to thin it out.
- Preheat an electric griddle to 375°F.
- Pour batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For even fluffier pancakes, consider separating the egg and whipping the egg white before folding it into the batter. You can substitute the oil with melted butter or coconut oil for a richer flavor. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these E-Z Pancakes with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a delightful breakfast. They pair beautifully with Hot Macaroni And Cheese for a savory twist on the meal. Add a side of crispy bacon or sausage to round out your morning plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster or microwave. For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through, helping to maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using, as it may thicken while sitting. Adding a little water can help adjust the consistency.
What can I add to the pancake batter for extra flavor?
You can enhance the flavor by adding vanilla extract, cinnamon, or even chocolate chips to the batter. Fresh fruits like blueberries or sliced bananas can also be mixed in for a delicious twist.
How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
Look for bubbles forming on the surface of the pancakes; this usually indicates that they are ready to be flipped. When the edges start to look set and the bubbles have popped, it’s time to turn them over for a golden finish.
