From scratch pancakes recipe

Pancakes are definitely something that tastes better from scratch. We try to make as many things from scratch as possible on our homestead, and this is one of them. This is one of those recipes that my husband knows by heart, probably because he makes them at least once a week. We love topping them with local syrup, or sometimes we’ll make fruit topping like our apple cinnamon pancake topping. When you have kids, pancakes are in the breakfast rotation quite a bit.

I’m so picky when it comes to pancakes, I always thought I hated pancakes, but it turns out I just hated the box mixes. Now pancakes for breakfast is one of my favorite ways to start the day. Maybe it’s the addition of vanilla or using melted butter instead of oil for even more flavor, I’m not sure, but these are tasty and so easy to make!

Everyone that stays with us and has our pancakes is always asking for the recipe, because it’s so good. Just another one of those recipes my husband is famous for, his chocolate chip cookies are pretty famous among our family and friends too.

Making pancakes from scratch and avoiding the box mix means it’s also one less thing to buy at the grocery store and one less thing to store in the pantry! You probably have all these ingredients on hand anyway!

This recipe makes about 10 medium sized pancakes, double it if you’re serving pancakes for a crowd (or or family of 5.)
