These fluffy pancakes made with self-rising flour and brown sugar are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite. The brown sugar adds a rich, caramel-like flavor that pairs perfectly with maple syrup or fresh fruit. Enjoy these pancakes for a cozy weekend breakfast or a special brunch!
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and brown sugar. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
-
Heat the Griddle:
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter rest a little longer.
- These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the toaster or microwave.
Enjoy your delicious fluffy brown sugar pancakes!
