How to Make Homemade Pancakes 101
- Heat a griddle (or skillet) on MEDIUM-HIGH heat while making the batter. It's ready when a drop of water "dances" on it. I turn the heat down about 1 click at this point.
- Make a "well" in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until mostly smooth. If the batter is thicker than you prefer, add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time to thin the batter a little, until it's just the way you like it. Allow the batter to rest while the griddle heats up.
