Best 9 Fast And Easy Pancakes Recipes

EASY BASIC PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).
• Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub skillet with oiled paper towel.
• For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit 2 to 3 in a large skillet).
• Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.
• BUTTERMILK: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.
• YOGURT: In step 1, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to dry mixture. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.
• WHOLE-GRAIN WITH YOGURT: In step 1, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step 2, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in milk, egg and oil. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

QUICK AND EASY PUMPKIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir flour, pumpkin, egg, sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl until well mixed; the mixture will be thick and chunky. Add baking powder and stir until evenly distributed. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup milk while stirring; mix until all liquid is absorbed. Add more milk and stir until batter is smooth and firm, yet flows off the spoon; a wooden spoon inserted into the mixture will stand, but batter will flow when poured. Mix in pecans.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes; flip and cook on the other side until edges are firm, another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place a pat of butter on each pancake as they are removed from the skillet and transferred to a plate. Sift confectioners' sugar on top.

BEST QUICK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle to 375 degrees or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in bowl. Add egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
• Heat oven to 175 degrees. Test griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If water bounces and spatters off griddle, it is hot enough. Using pastry brush, brush remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter onto griddle. Wipe off excess.
• Using a 2-ounce ladle, about 1/4 cup, pour pancake batter in pools two inches away from each other. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges, 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, 1 minute.
• Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes on heat-proof plate in oven.

QUICK AND EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl or mixing jug, whisk together egg, sugar and half of milk (2/3 cup).
• Add the flour and mix throughly.
• Then add remaining milk (2/3 cup) and baking powder. It should be the consistency of thick cream.
• (Optional): Add 1-1/2 tsp oil if you have trouble with sticking.
• Beat until smooth.
• Pour about a soup spoon sized amount onto a pre-heated lightly greased frying pan or griddle (You will need to start about medium high heat but after a few rounds you will need to drop it back to medium).
• Flip with a spatula when the top is all bubbly (should be a lovely golden colour), and cook the other side (~45 seconds/side depending on stovetop).
• Remove from pan and pile up on a plate (cover with a paper towel until served).
• Serve with whatever you like and enjoy.

FAST AND EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Place milk, sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in the blender. Add flour and baking powder. Blend until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.

EASY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put 100g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 300ml milk, 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil and a pinch of salt into a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
• Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
• Set a medium frying pan or crêpe pan over a medium heat and carefully wipe it with some oiled kitchen paper.
• When hot, cook your pancakes for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go.
• Serve with lemon wedges and caster sugar, or your favourite filling. Once cold, you can layer the pancakes between baking parchment, then wrap in cling film and freeze for up to 2 months.

SIMPLE, FAST AND SUPER FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients and whisk together.
• Mix wet ingredients together and whisk into the dry ingredients. Batter will be extremely thick, so you can add a little more milk to lessen the consistency if you prefer, but assuming you got the flour measurement correct, 2 cups of milk always seems to be about perfect for me.
• I use a 1/4 cup to scoop the batter on the griddle. If you like very thick and fluffy pancakes you'll have to use a spatula or just bang the cup on the griddle a few times to get it all out.
• I use a cast iron griddle over gas burners, so I have to use very low heat, and each set of pancakes cooks faster and faster (Usually 2-4 minutes per side for me). Most people say to watch the bubbles on top and turn after they pop, but with pancakes this thick, it can be a little deceiving. I just check the bottom before flipping and once it's golden brown, I flip it. Also, because they are so thick, you want to give a little smash with your spatula once you flip to make sure the whole bottom is in contact with the griddle.
• I feel it is a must to use real butter and a good syrup, but these are really up to you.

FLUFFY PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Combine egg, milk and shortening; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened., Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes; cook until the second side is golden brown.
