Print Recipe

There’s something magical about those soft, golden McDonald’s pancakes that brings back childhood smiles and cozy mornings. I remember Dad picking them up after church—extra syrup, extra love. Now, I make them from scratch for my grandkids, and their happy faces say it all. Want that warm, fluffy goodness at home? Here’s how you can make them too!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1 1/4 cups milk

  • 1 egg

  • 3 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)

  • Butter and maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  • In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter.

  • Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (lumps are okay!).

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

  • Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden.

  • Serve warm with a pat of butter and syrup—just like McDonald’s!

Notes

  • Use buttermilk for a richer flavor!

  • Don’t overmix—gentle stirring keeps them fluffy.

  • Want that perfect golden look? Cook on medium-low heat slowly.
