How To Make Pancake Out Of Scratch
Making pancakes from scratch is a simple way to start the day with a warm, homemade breakfast. By mixing basic pantry ingredients you can control the flavor, texture, and nutrition of each stack. The following guide walks you through a reliable method that many home cooks find yields fluffy, tender pancakes without the need for a mix.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all‑purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)

- Non‑stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
