Old Fashioned Pancakes From Scratch Recipe
I have been slowly trying to incorporate more homemade foods into our diets and less processed foods. One of the first things we got rid of was high sugar cereals, yes it was hard but after about a week or so they kids stopped complaining and starting asking for real food like eggs and toast, pancakes, oatmeal, etc. Making pancakes from scratch is alot easier than you think and is not only better for you but food from scratch is much better tasting and costs less to make.

This week my kids asked for some pancakes so I found an old fashioned pancakes from scratch 
Perfect Pancake Batter Recipe
To make the perfect pancake batter recipe you will need a few simple ingredients. The great thing about this pancake batter is that you probably already have all of these ingredients in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
&
- 1 1/2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons of baking POWDER
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 Tablespoon of White Sugar
- 1 1/4 Cups of Milk (We used Skim)
- 1 Egg
- 3 Tablespoons of melted butter
Must Have Tools For Making The Perfect Pancake
Making the perfect pancake can take some practice. I know when I first started cooking and making pancakes I would either burn the pancakes or the batter would still be runny in the middle. Over time I have learned that having the right tools is key in making the perfect pancake. Here are some of my favorites that I use to make the perfect round pancake every time.

Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar
. Make sure you mix the ingredients well, if you have a sifter you can sift everything together.
- Next make a well in the middle of your flour mixture and pour in the egg, milk and melted butter. Mix the batter until smooth. Don’t over mix.
- In a frying pan or griddle
- Brown the pancake on each side and serve hot with butter, syrup or your favorite topping.

If you’re looking for homemade maple syrup recipes, then be sure to check out my recipe for Homemade Maple Syrup to go along with these yummy pancakes.
Just copied and put in my email to print. The only kind I ever made from scratch was the buttermilk pancakes. Thanks for sharing
These are delish! I even added pumpkin and cinnimin and nutmeg to the recipe the other day and they were so so good!!! I might try making them in a cast iron skillit to see if I can get that crunchy outside 🙂
Too salty
I used Almond Breeze and a little vanilla. The wife loved chocolate chips in hers, I put blueberries in mine. A wonderful recipe!
That sounds really good! We have started using Almond Milk lately but I have never made the recipe with it. I’ll have to give it a try!
Mighty tasty and super easy! I have can milk on hand, so that is what we used along with vanilla, nutmeg and allspice. Thank you for sharing!
I’m so glad you liked it. I think the spices added will be fantastic. Let me know how they turn out.
These were awesome!! Light and fluffy yumminess 🙂
Yay!! I am so glad you liked them.
Made these for my family this morning and they we an absolute hit!! They were fluffy and delicious!!!
Fabulous! I’m going to try adding a little vanilla next time. Texture and crispy exterior is better than any box mix I’ve tried. Bravo!
Thanks for sharing yor recipe reminds me of a recipe I have from my grandmother and mom. I use buttermilk and flavoring sometimes, they are great.
These were perfect!
I can never figure out how to print recipes like this one, (great recipe) or any that I find on Pinterest. I always have to write them down on paper from the site. can you help me?
Depending on if you use windows or mac and also depending on what browser you use, it will be different but usually, if you go to the top right-hand corner of your screen, you will see a little button that are your options (usually 3 bars stacked on top of each other or a star or a button that says “options!”) click there and you will see an option to print the page…scroll down through all the pages it’s going to print and figure out which one(s) has the recipe on it and print only that page! 🙂
If you use Windows 7 … click on “File”; Click on “Print Preview”; click on the Print icon in the upper left corner of your screen; under Page Range select “Pages”; Type in what page(s) you want to print (See example shown under “Pages); Click “Print”.
This by far my favorite recipe! Can’t eat one pancake from box anymore!
I add 2 eggs instead of one thou.
This recipe is delicious love this pancake mix tried so many and this is my favorite. I been making these pancakes for the last two months it makes a total of seven fluffy pancakes won’t change for any other recipe I found amix that’s home made and it’s a keeper thanks so much for posting this recipe found it on pinterst love pinterst. Thank you once again.
Awesome recipe! Simple and foolproof.
What if you don’t have baking powder??
I made these this morning and they were good! I added bananas, honey and cinnamon. It was a bit salty, any recommendations in how to fix the saltiness?
You need to use unsalted or sweet cream butter. This is always the case with homemade baking unless otherwise specified. Hope that helps
Way too salty. I had to throw all everything out. My suggestion would be to cut way back on the salt …….
OMG! Second time making them and they are to die for! 3year old grandson devoured his in no time and begged for more! He’s a picky eater. He wanted blueberries in his.
This is my official go to pancake recipe. These pancakes are perfection!
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
These are so good! I add mini chocolate chips to the batter. My grandkids love them. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I have been using your recipe since I found it a few months ago and we love it! It is an easy, real breakfast and one of our favorites!
I added 1 teaspoon pure vanilla. My husband said they were the best pancake he’d ever had! And that’s saying alot! That’s for sharing!
These are delicious! I added a little cinnamon but that was it. My husband said they were the best pancakes he’s ever had!
Could you store up extra of the dry ingredients so it would save space I have a very small kitchen
These were awesome. I didn’t have much milk so I cut the recipe in half with the flour and used a bit more sugar. Worked out perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Whyyyy to salty. I think they may be good with half the salt the it asks for. I also used unsalted butter. Will try them again with an adjusted amount of salt.
I love these! I’m not noticing too much salt at all. I did add vanilla to mine. They’re seriously the best!
Wow! Great job. This is the first time I’ve made pancakes from scratch that didn’t taste like drywall. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to make em for my boyfriend!
How many dose each bach makes?
This is the way my mommy always made pancakes. We didnt know about boxed mixes back then. I still love them with a crunchy edge
The side panels from social media are annoying. I’m old and I can’t r rad with all that distraction!,, it’s just hard trying to get to see the recipe and use so I can give a real comment.
I can’t even read the article or recipe.. The menu just sits there covering up the left hand side of the content and won’t move…..
Wow! Great flavor, texture. We didn’t find it salty at all. Will be our go to pancakes. Thank you.
I made the pancakes for my family this morning and they’re soooo happy!! Thank you for the recipe.
I looked up a few recipes for pancakes and print screened a few, tries this one and omgosh, it’s my one and only now. I LOVE this one.
I tweak it as I do everything, I just add a little nutmeg & cinnamon to the dry mix as well and mix everything as normal but add a little water as the mix is as bit thick for me and put vanilla once it’s all mixed together and only add 1/2 tsp of salt.
Then I add blueberries, strawberries or pumpkin pie spice and it’s sooooo GOOD. Just made some and myou toddlers eat 3 and a half pancakes themselves lol Thank you for this easy and amazing recipe. LOVE it.
I’ve been using this recipe for a while now and it is delicious!!!! I actually use the same batter and made waffles and it was perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Almost the same as mine. My recipes comes from my great great grand daddy Roney
I use only three teaspoons of baking power
I add another tablespoon of sugar
and we use water instead of milk
it makes a thin pancake that stays together better and does not crumble apart
