Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then add the oil and eggs, and slowly pour in the milk until the batter reaches the consistency you like—it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Spoon generous dollops of batter onto the griddle and cook until you see bubbles forming on top and the edges start to look set, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until they’re golden brown on the other side. Keep going with the rest of the batter, adding a little oil if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These pancakes bring a warm, nostalgic feeling with every bite. They are fluffy, tender, and have a subtle sweetness that reminds you of cozy mornings spent with family. The simple, classic flavors make them a favorite for all ages.
How to serve
Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, a pat of butter, and fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas. For a heartier meal, add crispy bacon or a side of scrambled eggs. A dusting of powdered sugar also adds a nice touch.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster or microwave until heated through. For longer storage, freeze pancakes with parchment paper between layers and thaw before reheating.
