Since my children were small, this homemade pancake recipe has been a favorite in our kitchen. Made with kitchen staples like flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter, the pancakes have the perfect texture — fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. While they’re delicious on their own, you can customize them with your favorite add-ins. For a special treat, I used chocolate chips to top them when my children were younger. Now that they’re older, I sometimes add blueberries (these banana and pumpkin variations are delicious, too). Once you taste try from-scratch pancakes, you’ll never look at boxed mixes the same way again. Homemade pancakes can be made in no time at all and are delicious.
