| A Family Favorite Pancake Recipe - Easy and Delicious |
If you've seen my last few Sunday posts you've already heard me express how I'm shocking myself with all these recipe shares. Like I already said, it's not because I can't cook, it's just not my favorite thing to do.
I may be possessed by a Chef or something? Yah, like I'm a chef; not.
Today I'm sharing our family recipe for Pancakes. It's another easy recipe.
But wait, one of my fellow writers, Lou16, just wrote about her best pancake recipes! Oh no. I don't want to step on toes so be sure to check out her article. She provides several fantastic and unique recipe ideas. I'll have to try them.
How Many Ingredients Are in This Family Pancake Recipe?
There are 8 ingredients. This recipe, like most pancake recipes, is made by mixing everything together in one bowl.
What Makes this Pancake Recipe the Best One in the Entire World According to My Family - Tongue in Cheek :)
It's not just my family who love these pancakes; it's friends and visitors as well.
My mother passed this recipe along to me decades ago, and I can pretty much make it with my eyes closed. However, I did tweak the recipe and added one more ingredient.
That one ingredient addition is "Vanilla Extract".
For this basic pancake recipe, this small addition gives it that extra punch. Top your pancakes with strawberries and whip cream and it pretty much tastes like 'pancake cake'.
How to Make This Simple Recipe
- 1 Cup of Flour
- 3 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons of Sugar (Optional)
- 3/4 Teaspoon of Salt (Optional)
- 1 Egg
- 1 Cup of Milk
- 2 Tablespoons of Melted Butter
- 1 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract
You can double or triple this recipe as well.
Mix everything together in one bowl. Don't over mix. Once all the ingredients are blended together, let the batter sit for 10 minutes.

Cook it on a greased grill. I use butter, but normally only need the butter for the first batch.
Most of you who make pancakes already know this basic tip: When you put a pancake on the grill, you only flip it once and flip it over when you see the batter bubbling through the top.

Pancakes always seemed like a Sunday breakfast to me, so this pancake recipe is perfectly timed. Barbara,
ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing another favorite recipe -- from your family to mine.
It is certainly clear that we all love pancakes! Between you and Lou, you guys are definitely making me crave pancakes. Your recipe sounds delicious and exactly like the traditional pancakes I am used to. The idea to add vanilla extract was/is ingenious!
ReplyDeleteI love pancakes and love adding special items to my batter. Last week I added an extra ripe banana and some chocolate chips. Yummy. Thanks for a great basic recipe.
ReplyDeleteMary Beth, chocolate chips are a standard addition when I make these as well - love blueberries too!
DeleteOkay Barbara, I will try your recipe probably today......after all it is the beginning of the Lenten season. This will be a good one for those fast and abstinence days too. I like easy to make recipes because like you cooking is not my favorite thing to do. Thanks for your timely recipe share.
