Fluffy Homemade Pancakes
These thick and fluffy pancakes are made entirely from scratch and give children the chance to practice measuring, pouring, and flipping on a griddle with adult supervision. The batter comes together in just minutes and the result is a stack of golden pancakes that taste far better than any boxed mix.
Thick fluffy scratch-made pancakes that give kids a fun hands-on baking experience from measuring to flipping.

Instructions
Whisk Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt until combined. Creating an even dry mix first ensures the baking powder is distributed throughout so every pancake rises perfectly.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy and do not overmix it.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter. Pour about a quarter cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set then flip and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.
Stack and Serve
Transfer the finished pancakes to a warm plate and let kids decorate their own stacks with toppings like fresh berries, banana slices, maple syrup, or whipped cream. Encourage creativity with the toppings for extra fun.
