Pancakes
Hi Everyone, I love making this recipe for my family and it’s a weekday and weekend routine whenever my family and I want them, any season of the year.
This basic, old-fashioned pancake recipe is fun to customize with sprinkles or chocolate chips.
I love serving these with syrup, especially 100% pure maple syrup.
We love adding ground cinnamon to the batter and sprinkling a cinnamon-spice mix over the top when serving.
We like to make this when we are out of pancake mix or just want to make them from scratch instead of having them from the box.

This recipe is inspired by Good Old Fashioned Pancakes on AllRecipes.com and my other pancakes recipes on my blog (linked throughout this post).
This recipe calls for baking powder not baking soda, I just want to reiterate that you get a reminder, it’s easy to confuse the two ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1.25 cups whole milk (you can substitute non-dairy milk)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for cooking
