ingredients
- 354.88 ml all-purpose flour
- 4.92 ml salt
- 29.58 ml sugar
- 12.32 ml baking powder
- 1 egg
- 44.37 ml melted butter
- 295.73 ml milk
directions
- Beat egg.
- Stir in butter and milk.
- Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
- Stir into egg mixture.
- Lightly grease a griddle.
- Heat griddle and drop about 1/4 cup batter onto griddle.
- Spread lightly with a spoon.
- When bubbles begin to appear around outside edge and break, turn with a spatula and cook on other side.
- (I also lift edge a little with the spatula and peek under it to see how it's doing.) You will need to adjust your heat so they do not cook too fast and burn.
- For me, the temperature usually ends up somewhere between medium and medium-high.

These pancakes ROCK! I doubled the recipe for 5 people and there wasn't a bite left. These are just so fluffy and every pancake was perfect. I added a bit of vanilla but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter and it is fantastic. Throw out the mixes, folks...these take just a few minutes to make and simply can't be beat. Love the use of real butter instead of margarine, too (margarine scares me!!!). Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. -
Best pancakes ever. I do not cook. I woke up this morning and thought I would like some pancakes. These were quick and easy. My wife loved them -
I have tried a few different pancake recipes over the past month. This is the keeper! I don't think I'd find a better recipe. -
Best pancakes! I always refer back to this recipe. Pancakes are easy to make, fluffy, light and all my family loves them!

Just made these for my kids and I. They are amazing! Light and fluffy, and very tasty. Yummy! I added to my saved recipes for future use. Key for me was finding the right temperature on my stove so I didn't burn them. For me, on my gas stove, I was between medium and low. Thanks!

Excellent! Used canola oil instead of butter for health reasons. For baking, I always use fat free dry milk. Used vanilla sugar. Added a little cincinnom. Used a little more baking powder. I didn't find the batter to be too thick, at all. -
This recipe is fantastic! My husbands favorite food in the world is pancakes so we have tried alot of different recipes and this is by far the most consistent, fluffy, tasty, even textured pancake recipe we've used. I've started using cake flour instead of normal flour and I sub half of the milk with carnation evaporated milk for added richness. Also I've added a tsp or two of vanilla and they are even more heavenly. Thank you for such a perfect pancake recipe! -
We really like this recipe and have used it many times. It never fails! I do substitute unsweetened applesauce for the melted butter though.
