Here’s a simple, highly rated homemade pancake recipe that yields fluffy, delicious pancakes. It’s based on a classic recipe often praised for its balance of ease and flavor.
Ingredients:
-
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 2 tbsp White Vinegar (see note)
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp White Sugar (you can use 3)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Egg
- 2 tbsp Melted Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Directions:
-
- Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl for 10 minutes to “sour”. This is an important step and it is called “soured milk” which is much different that sour milk.
- Note: You will not taste the vinegar in the final product.
- Set aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk the soured milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter together.
- Pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until most of the lumps are gone, but do not over beat.
- The batter will be thick, don’t add any more liquid.
- Let the batter sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, you will see bubbles in the batter, very important do not stir again.
- Gently dip out (don’t pour out) 1/2 cup of batter and place it on a buttered grill or frying pan.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and then flip with a spatula and brown the other side.
