While it is easier to simply add water to a mix that promises and delivers extra-fluffy results, I prefer to make my pancakes from scratch. Here’s a family favorite recipe from my mother’s kitchen.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 egg
2 cups milk
3 tbsp white sugar
1½ cups sifted flour
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 tsp softened margarine
¼ tsp vanilla
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Preheat electric griddle.
3. Beat egg very well.
4. Add milk and sugar and continue beating.
5. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
6. Combine both mixtures.
7. Stir in margarine and vanilla.
8. Pour pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Pools of batter should be 2 inches away from each other.
9. Cook until golden brown on each side.
10. Place finished pancakes on a heat-proof plate in the oven.
11. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Love homemade pancakes! My kids turn their noses up to box mix. I like a touch of cinnamon as well as the vanilla. We also add a few chocolate chips to the uncooked pancakes on the grill before flipping—Yum!!!
Hi Anne, Like the idea of adding cinnamon to the mix. And the chocolate chips…YUM!!
Yummies for my tummy! This is a GREAT recipe – I love the fact you use vanilla,something we always put in.
The bit of vanilla makes such a difference. Thanks for dropping by, Noelle 🙂
