Easy Basic Pancakes

By Martha Stewart

Easy Basic Pancakes

Prep:5min

Homemade pancakes are a treat, but they are surprisingly simple to whip up. Our easy pancake recipe uses ingredients you likely have on hand, like all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, and egg. Start with our basic recipe, or try one of our variations using buttermilk or yogurt. Either way, you'll have a fluffy stack ready to eat in less than half an hour. Tip: Be sure to preheat the oven to keep the pancakes warm while you cook the rest—it makes all the difference.

Made it with buttermilk. We like what we call corn fritters, so, I added fresh corn to it also. Topped with butter and hot syrup. They were great.

This is a perfect pancake recipe. Pancakes were thick and fluffy and melted in your mouth. But I added a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract in my batter. Delish!

Easy and delicious pancake recipe!

Cynthia Singer· last year

Basic just as they should be. Used gluten free 1:1 and also added a little corn meal . Used no salt it doesn’t make any difference. My husband is gluten free and low salt so everything gets modified. It modified well.

Added lots of cinnamon. Meant to add vanilla but forgot. Upped the sugar a bit.

I love this recipe because the pancakes turn out thinner than other pancake recipes I’ve tried. Using 2 or 3 tablespoons of batter is the perfect amount!

Our go-to Saturday morning pancake recipe! I always triple it so we have leftovers for the next day or so.

UPDATE made with substitute (scroll down):Love this recipe, quick and easy on those mornings when your family wants a little extra. Easy to sub ingredients such as adding yogurt instead of milk , or add in bananas or strawberries! It’s a great recipe! I also mix the dry ingredients in a jar and save for another day so that way all I have to do is add milk, or my kiddo can mix it up for herself on another day! Used oat milk to replace the milk (Chobani vanilla). Turned out great! I am not a vegan, and I do like milk.
