Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the egg, milk, and vegetable oil to the dry mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour batter onto a hot grill or skillet.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking. If you don't have baking powder, you can substitute it with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 2 teaspoons of vinegar. Additionally, consider adding vanilla extract for a richer flavor or mixing in some blueberries for a fruity twist. These pancakes are perfect for a weekend breakfast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these melt-in-your-mouth pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast. They pair beautifully with Green Beans With Basil for a unique brunch spread. Add a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt for extra creaminess, or enjoy alongside bacon or sausage for a hearty meal.
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 warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through. For a quick option, a microwave can also be used, but be careful not to overheat them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the pancake batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle stir before cooking, as it may thicken while sitting. However, it's best to cook the pancakes fresh for the fluffiest texture.
What can I use instead of milk in the recipe?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk work well as substitutes for regular milk. You can also use buttermilk for a tangy flavor that enhances the pancakes' overall taste.
How can I make these pancakes healthier?
To make these pancakes healthier, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber. Additionally, consider reducing the sugar or using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. Adding mashed bananas or applesauce can also enhance sweetness without extra sugar.
