Homemade pancakes are undoubtedly delicious. However, you can (surprisingly) easily make them.
Simple pancake recipes call for ingredients you most likely already have on hand. These include butter, sugar, egg, baking powder, and all-purpose flour. You can start with this basic recipe or try other variants, such as yogurt and buttermilk.
After that, combine the dry ingredients with the milk mixture. Whisk the mixture gently, just enough to get your pancake batter moist. Keep in mind not to overmix your batter. A few tiny lumps here and there would be fine.
Preheat your skillet (cast-iron or nonstick) or a regular pan over medium heat.
Fold a paper towel in half and lightly grease your pan. You may also use an oil sprayer or a silicon brush instead.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Pour at least 2 to 3 tablespoons of pancake batter into the pan for every pancake. Spread the batter to form a circle using the back of a spoon. Two to three should fit in a large pan or skillet. You can also swirl your pan to create a circle with your batter.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Then, wait until the pancakes bubble and a few pop.
Flip them gently with a thin spatula and continue cooking until the other side becomes brown. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes.
Place your cooked pancakes on a baking sheet or tray. Lightly cover them with aluminum foil and keep them warm in the oven.
Continue with the remaining pancake batter and oil. You can make between 12 and 15 pancakes with this recipe.
Serve them hot with your preferred pancake toppings. Enjoy your fluffy pancakes!
