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!

Savannah says
these where ok pancake they seemed dryon the inside. My family really didnt lik them. the outside was really rubbery.
A Cowboy's Wife says
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!
Shadira says
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!

leeann says
I have tried 7 (yes 7) online pancake recipes—and I’m stopping here, because these are THE BEST—OMGsh absolutely delicious-my 4 yr old son ate 4 of them this morning-and said I was ‘a very good cooker’ — who could argue with that?! Thank you so much for sharing!
Morrisa says
Tried this recipe this morning, it was the best pancake recipe I have ever tried. I am looking forward to trying the others listed !
Marcy says
I just tried this recipe and the pancakes were delicious! I didn’t have regular milk so I used soy milk instead and it worked just fine. This will be my go-to recipe for pancakes from now on!!
ChocolateKate says
This recipe was perfect and you cannot go wrong with it. I even left out a little flour and a little baking powder because my husband likes his pancakes thin and light. Absolutely delicious. I will never ever buy store bought mix again!!!!!! not only were they delicious but they were perfectly round and brown all the way!
Glad I came across this one! I appreciate the recipe! God bless!
Caramel Cook says
I made this recipe today; however I made a few tweaks: little bit of sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla, and blueberries. The pancakes came out nicely.
Erma says
I made this today, thanks for the recipe! (I found you through foodblogsearch.com) I added rainbow sprinkles so it would look fun to eat for my toddler. :)
cigdem says
Hey! I am from Turkey, i was in TX last summer and i still crave the pancakes i ate there. Just tried this recipe and they are absolutely delicious!!! Thank you, you’re my savior :)
MeowMixMender says
what kind of oil did you use? olive oil or vegetable oil, etc
Erma says
I used vegetable oil and it was fine.
daphne says
Thanks for the recipe! I added vanilla, which made it even more awesome. Since my husband is a marathon runner, I separated a batch and added 2 tablespoons peanut butter and half a banana mashed. This is a great breakfast for athletes since it’s dense (won’t slush around in the tummy), keeps them full of energy during long sessions, provides proteins and enzymes too.
Sarah says
I have been looking for a good pancake recipe and this one was wonderful!!!!! My son asked for seconds and asked for some more about 2 hours after he was done, and if you knew my son you would know that it is torture trying to get him to eat anything!!! Thanks for the recipe it is definitely going in the recipe book!!!!!
Michael Miller says

Jessica C. says
I ran out of pancake mix and was really craving them. So I looked up homemade pancakes and found that this one looked the best. I made the batter and added a tad of water so the batter wouldn’t be that thick. The pancakes were delicious and I give it 5 stars!
Jen says
These are simply the best pancakes, hands down. I have been using this recipe for a few years now, and nothing else comes close. Thank you for sharing this!
Michelle says
I make these pancakes using whole wheat or white wheat flour all the time–simply wonderful :-)
Kerri says
These are amazing pancakes! My 2 year old asks me to make them everyday! We’ve had them at least once a week since I stumbled upon the recipe (i just googled homemade pancakes!) so easy to make. I usually put some chocolate chips in there for my husband and son. Tonight Im making them for dinner and going to had a banana!
