FROM-SCRATCH PANCAKES

Published Date: August 12, 2020 | Last Updated: March 15, 2023
These from-scratch pancakes take exactly 42 seconds longer to make than pancake mix from a bag. And once you are used to eating pancakes made from scratch, you won’t be able to stand eating those dry pancakes that come from a bag mix. No comparison! Jazz up these pancakes however you see fit! *Add banana chunks, white/milk chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, or blueberries. (The banana chunk+ white chocolate, + macadamia nut version as shown in the video below was AMAZING!)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour, white or whole wheat

Instructions

  • Combine all batter ingredients and mix well.

Notes

*I recommend adding blueberries and chocolate chips/nuts not to the bowl of batter but to sprinkle them on a dollop of pancake batter once it’s been put on the preheated griddle.
*For best results, cover up any chocolate pieces with more batter so they don’t burn once flipped.
*Cook on a buttered surface over medium to medium-high heat and flip once you see bubbles coming to the surface.
*Don't overmix your batter! It’s ok if there are some streaks of flour left behind! 
This recipe makes about 10 pancakes, so for our family of 7, I always double it.

    Loved the recipe! The nutmeg was different and the suggestions were helpful. My daughter loved the chocolate chips.
    The only thing I’d change is using Buttermilk
