basic pancake recipe
i make this at least every weekend, and sometimes during the week, too. this is so easy, the only acceptable excuse for pre-made pancake mixes are specially dietary reasons. this is a low-yield recipe: about four CD-size pancakes. it can probably be doubled (or tripled, etc) for more.
ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt (only ½ tsp. table salt)
- ¾ soy milk (cow juice is probably fine)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. sugar
- Put non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium-low heat.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
- Mix the milk, egg, and sugar in another container.
- Pour liquid mixture into dry ingredients and stir. Add milk if batter is not pourable.
- Pour batter into skillet to desired pancake size.
- After about two minutes, flip. The top of the pancake should have bubbles breaking on the surface when it is ready to flip. Knowing when to flip takes practice, but you can’t screw it up too badly. You can use your spatula to peek under the edge to check before flipping.
- Remove after one more minute (or so) on the other side.
- Apply butter and syrup. (Pure maple syrup. Anything else is blasphemy.)
if your pancakes are turning out a little bit uncooked in the middle, it means the batter was too thick. add more milk next time!
this is based on the pancake recipe in how to cook everything by mark bittman.

this site is great i wanted a pancake recipe asap and got it here thanks
Thanks for setting up such a great site, I needed a recipe for pancakes quickly this morning and it worked out perfectly! Thanks
There's one other good reason for pre-made pancake mix. I am disabled, with no transportation, limited budget, and I am out of milk. But i have Aunt Jemima's Complete Pancake Mix, which can be made with water. So, if I want some form of bread to go with my eggs and bacon, this works. If someone is out of ingredients, don't be so quick to judge.
"Pure maple syrup. Anything else is blasphemy." SNOB..........
Thank you so much for giving me this recipe. I was looking for one all morning, but I couldn't find one that called for only 1 cup of flour. I needed a recipe that called for that because I don't have much flour to work with

Sorry, comments on this post are closed.
You are TOO correct about using anything besides real maple syrup. And, anyone who pays the price for the store-bought mix to make pancakes is just plain lazy and/or incompetent!
Thanks for the recipe! J
