Plain Pancakes

These soft Plain Pancakes makes the perfect breakfast on busy mornings. Better than pancake mix, this is the best pancake recipe I have tried.

If you are looking for the perfect pancakes, look no further. I have tested out a lot of recipes, and this one makes the best fluffy pancakes every time. With a drizzle of maple syrup on top, this makes such a good brunch recipe.

Me and my dad have been on a search the perfect pancake recipe for some time now. Most of the recipes we have found use buttermilk, and I just never want to buy buttermilk specifically to make pancakes. Although, my dad loves drinking buttermilk straight out of a glass. I can't say that that is something that I am interested in doing.

But once we learned how to sour our own milk, it was a game changer for pancake recipes. It gives the pancakes such a light and fluffy texture, you don't even need any mix-ins! These Plain Pancakes are perfect just the way they are.

Plain Pancakes Ingredients

This homemade pancake recipe uses a couple of basic ingredients. All you need is:

• milk
• white vinegar (or lemon juice)
• all purpose flour
• white sugar
• baking soda
• baking powder
• pinch of salt
• large egg
• melted butter

Tips

Storage: Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. 

Make toaster pancakes. My favorite thing to to with leftover pancakes is to freeze them so that you can have toaster pancakes. Instead of throwing away your leftover pancake batter, cook up the remaining pancakes, then place in a single layer on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, place the pancakes in freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to eat them, place the frozen pancake in the toaster and toast until warm.

Add in your favorite mix-ins. This easy pancake recipe makes a great base for mix-ins. I love adding in some fresh fruit or chocolate chips, but you can make a multitude of flavors using what you have on hand!
