Instructions

Prepare the Pancake Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—until evenly combined. Store any leftover pancake mix in an airtight container to use later.
Add the Liquid Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and oil. Add 1 cup of the prepared pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until the batter is smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more milk if too thick or more pancake mix if too thin.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly butter the surface. Use a 1/4 cup measuring scoop to pour batter onto the skillet. Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on top and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or butter for a delightful breakfast treat.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; small lumps are okay.
Leftover pancake mix can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
You can substitute milk with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free option.
Use vegetable oil or canola oil for a neutral flavor; melted butter can also be used for added richness.
Maintain medium heat to avoid burning pancakes while ensuring they are fully cooked inside.
