Classic Pancake Recipe Overview

As a close second behind scrambled eggs and omelettes, pancakes are fan favorite for a brunch or snack. This homestyle pancake recipe yields 5-6 tender, delectable pancakes with a fluffy texture. I used butter and a classic blueberry sauce as topping for my test plate here and got to say, these will probably be my go-to home recipe whenever making pancakes – which are a close second to my favorite omelette recipe.

  4. Repeat this process until the batter is used.

You can also use the same batter to make some crepes since the batter is interchangeable.

Common Questions About How to Make Classic Pancakes

What flour do I use? All purpose flour is best. However if you would like to make a gluten free pancake you can use rice flour, or almond flour for preparing a keto pancake recipe.

How do I store my classic pancakes? Store your pancakes in a refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to a few days or cover with plastic wrap, layer with parchment paper – and freeze.
