Recipe for Pancake from Scratch

By Ben Panny


Pancakes are a delicious way to begin your day. They're not challenging to make at all, and a beginner cook can easily make these from scratch. There isn't any need to purchase the frozen ones, they're not as appetizing or as light and fluffy as ones which you make on your own. They do have pancakes mixes that work nicely and taste good, but you are paying a great deal more for the convenience of having all of the dry ingredients measured out and put into a box for you. You could very easily do this yourself at home. You may even mix up a double batch and keep some in an airtight container to use a different day. Pancakes aren't only excellent in the mornings, they make a rapid, scrumptious and uncomplicated dinner too when you are in the mood for something light. You may also change them up easily with add ins.

Here is an easy pancake recipe from scratch

You will need the following ingredients, if you want to create extra batter, just double or triple the ingredients:

- 2 cups of flour,

- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar,

- 1 tablespoon of baking powder,

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt,

- 2 eggs,

- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil,

- and 1 1/2 cups of milk.

Break the eggs in a bowl, beat them, add the milk and oil. Set that bowl aside. In a different bowl mix all of the dry ingredients. Now add the dry ingredients into the liquid, mix it but not too much, it should be a lttle bit lumpy, the more mixing you do, the tougher your pancakes will turn out.

Put some butter or oil on a griddle or frying pan, let it heat up, pour some batter onto the pan, you could make your pancakes little, like silver dollar ones, or large. Let it cook until you see bubbles on the top and the edges are dry, once you see that flip and cook the other side. The other side doesn't take as long. Serve with butter and maple syrup, or you could sprinkle powdered sugar over them.

If you would like, you can add blueberries to the batter for blueberry pancakes, or chocolate chips for chocolate chip pancakes. You can also mash a banana up in the batter to create delicious banana pancakes. Your family will love the pancakes and you saved some money by making the batter yourself.
