Discover an easy authentic Perkins pancake recipe that guarantees breakfast bliss Fluffy pancakes ready in minutes for your family to enjoy
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar, preferably granulated or brown for added warmth
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for an aromatic twist
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of your leavening agents, helping your pancakes rise perfectly.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then, add the buttermilk and melted butter (along with vanilla if using). Whisk until well combined. This is where the magic starts, as the buttermilk adds a rich tang to your batter.
Carefully pour the wet ingredients into your dry ingredients, stirring gently. Be cautious not to overmix, as a few lumps are perfectly fine. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, and nobody wants that!
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small dab of butter to coat the surface for a golden finish. If the butter sizzles upon contact, you are ready to cook!
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip to cook the other side until golden brown. Try not to flip too early to ensure fluffy pancakes.
Stack your pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup, or add fresh berries for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and revel in the compliments!
