Homemade pancakes are something I never really considered making. It just seemed like a lot of effort when I can get the same thing from a complete "just add water" pancake mix. I wanted pancakes this morning but didn't have any mix, so I dug up a recipe and gave it a shot. Let me tell y'all... I'm never going back to Aunt Jemima ever again!


These are easily whipped up with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter. I added vanilla extract to mine, too!


Start by sifting the dry ingredients together. This is important as it helps make the pancakes fluffy. You'll make a well in the center and add your wet ingredients. 


Be careful not to overmix pancake batter. They will get tough and chewy! The batter will be bubbly and lumpy—this is okay! Then you cook them as you would any pancake and serve hot. I like to freeze any extra pancakes (getting the amount right is so difficult for me!) for a quick and easy breakfast.
