Old-fashioned pancakes are a classic breakfast dish that are fluffy and delicious. They are typically made with basic ingredients like flour, milk, eggs, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream!
You can definitely add chocolate chips to the pancakes! Just sprinkle them into the batter after pouring it onto the skillet, or fold them into the batter before cooking. It adds a sweet touch that many people love! Enjoy your chocolate chip pancakes!
These pancakes are simple, comforting, and perfect for a cozy breakfast! Enjoy!
