We are breakfast eaters around here so I can’t really afford to buy premade stuff like those bags full of pancakes or boxes of waffles. It’s much cheaper to make my own from scratch and I have to say, much better tasting in my opinion. They are very simple to make and even had my toddler help throw some powdered sugar on top for fun! We eat pancakes with scrambled eggs and bacon. YUM! If pancakes aren’t your thing, try a traditional breakfast, bacon brunch bites or country fried sandwich.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup milk ( I usually add a bit more to my desired consistency)
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
Mix your dry ingredients together, then add in your wet ingredients. Mix until smooth and to desired consistency. I pour into a measuring cup I have with a pour spout but you can use whatever. Pour out onto semi-hot griddle; not too hot or the middle of your pancakes won’t cook through. I use my tortilla griddle. When it’s bubbled up on one side, flip! Serve with your favorite syrup, fruit or sugar!
HINT: For more flavor, add a bit of vanilla!

Thanks for posting this!!! I used the recipe as my base. Then add some of my family’s favorite spices to the mix (cinnamon, ginger, gloves, nutmeg and allspice) along with 2 tbsp of vanilla and frozen blueberries. My daughter (whose only one) ate 3 of the pancakes as fast as I could get them on her plate. Hugh success!
Thanks for the recipe, these pancakes are delicious. I went through four other recipes before deciding to stick to this one. This is the one to memorize for a good ol’ breakfast.
Thanks for the recipe. I’ve been searching for something that came close to my great gandma’s pancakes when I was a kid in Hawaii. This recipe brought back those special childhood memories. Mahalo (thanks)
Thanks for the recipe,they were lighter than air!
I made some adjustments and I will never eat pancakes outdoors again!
instead of 2 Tablespoons oil, I’ve put 2 Tablespoons of butter..
I added one more tablespoon of sugar, and a little of vanilla!
Thanks again!
Wow, one depressing night with empty cupboards I came across this recipe. It saved my family that night & is now an alltime favorite! Thank you so much for sharing. I add a bit of cinnamon, vanilla, & brown sugar. In fact I’m makin it tonight for dinner! YUMMY!
I used what we had in the house, whole wheat pastry flour and vanilla almond milk. Worked just fine!
Great recipe. Thank you. I like how you showed pictures as well.
The only question that arise is: What exactly is the temperature you put it on. I have a griddle I use all the time, and for the past 7 months or so, my pancakes have been turning out to be uncooked in the middle. I’ve been using it at the same heat for the past 2 years.
My griddle has a temperature range of warm (posibly around 100 or so) to 400 F. and I’ve been putting it at 300. Is that too much or all right? Thanks.
Gosh, honestly, I don’t know. I have gas here and so I wouldn’t have any clue as to what temp to put it on. Maybe someone else here can answer that. Sorry.
No problem, thanks anyways. Hopefully someone can answer that for me.
Play with the heat. If your pancakes aren’t cooking in the middle the griddle is either too hot or too cold. I use gas too but a med. To low heat is favorable. Your Pancakes will cook evenly and start to form bubbles right away also making the sizzle sound as you poor the batter when you’ve found the perfect temp.
Its my sons first christmas and our first christmas as a family. We always had pancakes christmas morning for breakfast. Well its 1am and it just dawned on me I ain’t got any pancake mix so I searched for homemade pancakes and these look awesome!! Ima get up in a few hours and make em for my family.

These sound so simple to make. My boyfriend loves pancakes so I will surprise him with some in the morning. Thanks for the recipe
these where ok pancake they seemed dryon the inside. My family really didnt lik them. the outside was really rubbery.
Sorry your experience wasn’t great Savannah. With over 60 positive comments on these, perhaps you cooked them too long or the batter consistency was off.
Thanks for trying them though!
I TOTALLY LOVE this recipe!!! I can’t believe how easy it it to make! And they taste incredible!!! They came out nice and fluffy, not at all dry!!! I’m so gonna stop buying pancake mix, nothing beats a good homemade recipe!
