denny's pancake recipe
A copycat recipe for Denny’s fluffy and golden pancakes, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 Egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk and melted butter. Add vanilla extract if using.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing; lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the consistency by adding a splash of milk if the batter is too thick.
