Classic Pancakes

Homemade pancakes is something I grew up on. We used to make them quite often and I would always get to help. By help, I mean I got to brandish the whisk while my mom did all the measuring and cooking. I “helped” so frequently when I was younger that I remember I was actually surprised to learn that you could get a pancake mix in a box. I was at my first Pancake Tuesday celebration at school when I had my first boxed pancakes. These pancakes are much better than the boxed version though, and use ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.

One bowl, and 5 minutes is all you need to mix the batter for these. I typically cook on a medium high heat, but the exact setting differs for all stove tops and even pan types. I now have a designated burner, pan and stove-top setting for making pancakes. We take our pancakes seriously here.

This recipe is based off of the one my mom used. I have slightly tweaked the recipe over the years since then and have settled on this version. It's easy, quick and delicious. The pancakes are light and fluffy, and not too sweet. They are the perfect “syrup vessels”, as my husband would say.
