It’s the weekend, which in our house means…PANCAKES! Steve and I are forever five when it comes to pancakes. We love silver dollars and are not embarrassed to ask for them at restaurants. These little babies can be made as silver dollars or regular sized. This recipe makes the perfect amount of pancakes for 2-4 people and you can easily double it when you have more!
Why buy a mix when you can whip these up lickety split????
Beat 1 egg, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 2 Tablespoons melted butter together in a mixing cup. If you like vanilla in your pancakes add 1/2 teaspoon now!
Mix together the 1 1/4 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 Tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium sized bowl. Whisk in the egg mixture. Let the batter sit for about five minutes. It will get pretty puffy. If it looks too thick, add in a little more milk!
Get your griddle nice and hot and spoon the batter into circles. Cook for a few minutes per side. Our friend, Teo discovered a trick to figuring out when to flip. Wait until the bubbles in the batter stand still and stop refilling themselves with batter. Thanks, Teo!! This batter makes nice puffy and light pancakes!
Eat them with MAPLE SYRUP of course. Or any delicious fruit topping. Pretty much anything is good on these babies.
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 Tablespoons melted butter
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- 1. Heat up a cast iron griddle or pan on medium heat before you begin.
- 2. Beat together the egg, milk, and melted butter. If you are adding vanilla add it in at this time too!
- 3. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and salt. The dough should be lumpy. Let it sit for about five minutes. IT will puff up, if it is too thick, add a little more milk.
- 4. Cook on the griddle for a few minutes per side (Add some butter or oil to the griddle before cooking!) SErve with MAPLE SYRUP!
I'm a country girl at heart. I tried living in the city and it just didn't work. Welcome to my ramblings as a teacher and wife. 
I like having a good pancake every now and then but I like using Club Soda in place of the milk or water. Makes for a light, fluffy pancake. Being married for 46 years, have never made them any other way.
Such a great idea! Can’t wait to try it!

I made these and my kids loved them!
I always make pancake batter myself, but these are really very light and soft.
I added some blueberries, it is so delicious and makes it look so nice too!
Thanks for sharing your recipe! 🙂
