This classic Good Old-Fashioned Pancakes recipe is a beloved family favorite passed down through generations. With a light, fluffy texture and perfectly balanced flavors, these pancakes are simple to make and perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.
Gather all the necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl to evenly distribute the leavening agent and create a light batter.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat to achieve the ideal cooking temperature for golden pancakes.
Pour or scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side until browned and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruit, or butter. Enjoy your homemade classic pancakes!
