OLD COOKIES

For 12 pancakes

1 1/2 cups flour

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon white sugar

3 tablespoons melted butter

1 egg

1 1/4 water cup milk

cooking spray

To make this recipe, like this

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.

2. Keep melted butter in eggs and milk until combined. Let rest for 5 minutes

3. Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Use cooking spray. Pour the batter into the hot pan, about

1/4 cup of the batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the sides and center of each

pancake, 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

Don’t Overmix – Stir the batter until ingredients are just combined; lumps are okay. Overmixing makes pancakes dense.

Rest the Batter – Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.

Medium Heat is Best – Cook on medium heat so pancakes cook through without burning.

Variations to Try

Blueberry Pancakes – Fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes – Add mini chocolate chips for a sweet twist.

Cinnamon Swirl – Mix cinnamon and brown sugar into the batter or swirl on top before flipping.

Banana Nut – Mash a ripe banana into the batter and add chopped walnuts.

Buttermilk Pancakes – Replace milk with buttermilk for extra tang and fluffiness.

Whole Wheat Pancakes – Use half whole-wheat flour for a healthier, nutty flavor.

Savory Pancakes – Skip sugar and add herbs, cheese, or green onions for a brunch twist.
