simple 3-ingredient pancakes recipe - featured image

A quick and easy pancake recipe using only three ingredients: flour, eggs, and milk. Perfect for beginners and those seeking a fuss-free, fluffy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, but 2% or non-dairy alternatives like almond or oat milk can be used)

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup (120 grams) of all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs at room temperature, and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Slowly sift or sprinkle the flour into the wet ingredients while whisking gently until smooth batter without lumps forms. Add a splash more milk if batter is too thick.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes until a drop of water dances on the surface.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden on both sides.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
  8. Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; a few small lumps are okay. Use room temperature eggs and milk for best results. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes only once when bubbles pop and edges firm up. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
