Classic Pancakes
A quick and easy recipe for delicious homemade pancakes made from scratch using basic pantry ingredients. They are light, fluffy, and tender, perfect for a cozy breakfast. Chef's tips: (1) Ensure all wet ingredients (egg, milk, and melted butter) are at room temperature to prevent the melted butter from clumping and solidifying upon contact. (2) Do not overmix the batter. Over-stirring develops gluten, which makes the pancakes tough instead of light and tender. (3) Avoid stacking hot pancakes directly on top of each other on a plate immediately after cooking, as the trapped steam will make the bottom ones soggy. Instead, lay them flat on a platter. (4) To keep pancakes warm for serving later, preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) and place the cooked pancakes directly on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes. (5) Leftover pancakes can be frozen. Reheat them frozen directly in a toaster or warm them up in the oven.
