This is THE BEST recipe I have ever used for making pancakes. Every one came out perfectly. They were fluffy and thick, and kept a nice round shape. Quick and easy, using simple ingredients. This is my new favorite pancake mix recipe! To view the original recipe and all of the comments check it out at Recipezaar, one of my favorite recipe search engines.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Beat egg until fluffy.
- Add milk and melted margarine.
- Add dry ingredients and mix well.
- Heat a heavy griddle or fry pan which is greased with a little butter on a paper towel. (I have a flattop stove, and setting 5 for med heat worked well for these.)
- The pan is hot enough when a drop of water breaks into several smaller balls which ‘dance’ around the pan.
- Pour a small amount of batter (approx 1/4 cup) into pan and tip to spread out or spread with spoon.
- When bubbles appear on surface and begin to break, turn over and cook the other side.
- *Before I poured the batter for another pancake, I rubbed a stick of butter into the pan to oil it up a little to keep the pancake from sticking.

Wow - That is my EXACT recipe handed down to me by my grandfather. We used to get together every Sunday morning for pancakes when I was young, but have since moved many miles away.
The only thing I do different is that I don’t grease the pan at all. I use a non-stick skillet, and they come out way better with no grease in the pan - and don’t stick at all.
