Homemade pancakes are a delicious and easy breakfast option that can be made with a few simple ingredients. Whether you're cooking for a family brunch or a cozy morning by yourself, this pancake recipe will provide fluffy, flavorful pancakes in no time. Gather your ingredients and get ready to enjoy the perfect stack of homemade goodness!

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1.5 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, and 1 cup of self-raising flour. Mix these dry ingredients well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs until well beaten. Gradually add the 2.5 cups of milk into the beaten eggs, continuing to whisk until well combined.
3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the milk and egg mixture into the well. Using a whisk or a wooden spoon, gently stir the mixture until it is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat the Pan:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can test if the pan is ready by sprinkling a few drops of water on it; if they sizzle and evaporate quickly, the pan is ready.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of oil or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
6. Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can enjoy fluffy and delicious homemade pancakes right from your kitchen. Follow these tips to perfect your pancake-making skills and create a delightful breakfast that everyone will love. Happy cooking!

Home made pancakes FAQ:

What is the cooking time for pancakes?

Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Can I substitute the self-raising flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead, but you'll need to add additional baking powder. Use 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder to replace the self-raising flour.

How should I store leftover pancakes?

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Separate each pancake with parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

What can I use instead of milk for a dairy-free option?

You can substitute 1% milk with any non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Just ensure that the non-dairy milk is unsweetened if you want to control the sweetness of the pancakes.

How can I tell if my pancakes are done?

Pancakes are done when they are golden brown on both sides, and the edges appear set. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are ready to serve.

Tips:

- Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are small lumps. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.

- Use a measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet for evenly sized pancakes.

- Make sure your skillet or griddle is properly preheated to ensure even cooking.

- If making a large batch, keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 95°C) until all are ready to serve.
