Sweet Old Fashioned Pancakes

Here’s a Sweet, Old-Fashioned Pancake recipe—soft, fluffy, and just like grandma used to make 🥞

Sweet Old-Fashioned Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• 3½ tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tbsp sugar (use 2 tbsp if you like them sweeter)

• 1¼ cups milk

• 1 egg

• 3 tbsp melted butter (or oil)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but classic for sweet pancakes)

Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

3. Combine
   Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir just until combined—lumps are OK.
   Overmixing makes pancakes tough.

4. Cook

   • Heat a lightly buttered griddle or skillet over medium heat.

   • Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.

   • Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (about 2 minutes).

   • Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

Serve With

• Butter and real maple syrup

• Powdered sugar

• Fresh berries

• A drizzle of honey or warm fruit syrup

Old-Fashioned Tips

• Let batter rest 5 minutes for extra fluffiness

• Lower heat if they brown too fast

• For crisp edges, use a little extra butter in the pan
