The Best Homemade Pancakes
These classic homemade pancakes are incredibly light, tender, and fluffy. Featuring crispy buttery edges and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior, they are the ultimate weekend breakfast treat. Chef's tips: (1) Warming the milk slightly is crucial. If the milk is ice-cold, it will cause the melted butter to seize up and clump. (2) Granulated sugar is important not just for sweetness, but also to tenderize the crumb and help caramelize the edges for a crispy, golden exterior. (3) Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing develops gluten, which makes the pancakes tough instead of light and fluffy. (4) Cook over medium-low heat. If the heat is too high, the sugar in the batter will burn the outside before the inside is fully cooked.
