Classic Pancakes are just that: classic. This is just the perfect recipe for the best pancakes. Read through Pancake Tips before you start for best results.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup light cream or evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • more butter

Preparation:

In large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a wire whisk until combined.

In small bowl, combine milk, cream, eggs, and melted butter and beat until smooth. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Cover batter and let stand for 10 minutes.

While the batter is standing, heat a griddle to 350 degrees F. Lightly rub the griddle with a tablespoon of butter. When a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto the griddle, use a 1/4 cup measure to pour four circles of batter onto the griddle.

Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles form a just begin to burst, about 2-4 minutes. Turn the pancakes and cook for 1-2 minutes on second side just until golden. The second side of the pancake will never get as brown as the first - that's okay. Makes about 8-10 pancakes
