Easy Pancake Recipe

Be sure to use fresh ingredients. Old or expired flour or baking powder can create flat pancakes. Also, make sure you do not over-mix the batter. Over-mixing can cause the pancakes to become flat.

Over-mixing the batter will create chewy pancakes. If you over-mix, the gluten will develop from the flour in your batter, making your pancakes chewy instead of fluffy.

Absolutely! You can also freeze pancakes. To freeze them, cook the pancakes, and then lay them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until they are completely frozen, about 30 to 45 minutes. Then, place them in a freezer bag with a piece of wax paper or parchment between each pancake (this way they won't stick together). Place a pancake onto a plate and microwave for 20 seconds to reheat. You can also reheat pancakes in the oven. Wrap them in foil and place them in a 350F oven for about 10 minutes.

You might like to add in blueberries, thinly sliced apples, chocolate chips, or a mashed banana. Add any extra ingredients to the batter at the last moment before scooping the batter into the pan. If you use a small mashed banana, you might find that you need to add a bit more milk to thin the batter.
