How To Make Pancakes From Scratch

Making pancakes from scratch is easy and fun! This recipe even offers some healthy whole grains and natural honey to help get your day off right!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 7 -8 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spelt flour can sub any flour but we love spelt!
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey sugar works too in a pinch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Cooking spray or extra oil to grease griddle

Instructions

  • Combine all dry ingredients.
  • Combine wet ingredients.
  • Add wet mixture all at once to dry ingredients and stir until just moistened. Batter will be lumpy, do not attempted to smooth it completely or you will toughen pancakes. If too lumpy add additional buttermilk 2 tablespoons at a time until desired consistency.
  • Preheat griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat with small amount of oil or spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven on warm (170-190 degrees) and place a heat safe plate within oven.
  • I always ruin the first batch of pancakes so do a test pancake to get your heat right! You want it to be hot enough to get a nice crisp but not so hot that the outside cooks before the inside is ready.
  • Pour or spread 1/4 cup batter into approx 3 inch circle for regular sized pancakes.
  • When bubbles begin to pop on top of pancakes use a flat spatula (plastic if using non-stick) to flip the pancakes.
  • Cook to golden brown and remove.
  • Hold finished pancakes warm in oven while you finish.
