Two ingredients and 10 minutes are all you need to make these delicious fried eggs – perfect for a dinner.

fried eggs sunny side up

Omit butter and use a nonstick pan. Cook eggs over low heat about 1 minute or until edges turn white. Add 2 teaspoons water for each egg. Cover and cook about 5 minutes longer or until a film forms over the top and whites and yolks are firm, not runny.

Lighten Up Fried Eggs:

Follow directions for Fried Eggs, Sunny Side Up, but after cooking 3 minutes, gently turn eggs over with a wide spatula and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer or until yolks are thickened.

Fried Eggs, Over Easy:

Store eggs in their carton in the refrigerator. Keeping them in the carton protects them from absorbing refrigerator odors. Store the carton on a refrigerator shelf, where it is colder, rather than in the door.

<h3> Mix Batter </h3>
 The first step in making these fluffy pancakes? Mixing up your pancake batter! After you beat the egg, you’ll stir in the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and oil or butter. Make sure you don’t overmix the batter—nobody wants tough pancakes! 

<h3> Heat Griddle </h3>
 Heat your griddle to that just-right temperature of 375°F. You can test the heat using a few drops of water. If the droplets “dance” around, you’ve reached the right temperature for cooking those fluffy cakes. 

<h3> Cook Pancakes </h3>
 Pour your batter onto the griddle, creating consistently sized circles. Let your batch of pancakes cook on one side until they’re nice and bubbly before flipping them over. When the other side is done cooking, you should have perfectly golden-brown homemade pancakes.

How to Make Homemade Pancakes from Scratch

These homemade pancakes are delicious on their own, but why not double the fun with tasty toppings? Now that you’ve learned how to make pancakes from scratch, check out some of our favorite ways to jazz them up. 

 Fruit: From sweet berries to crisp honeydew melon, the flavor opportunities are endless when it comes to fruit toppings. We love spreading a layer of vanilla yogurt and adding some freshly chopped strawberries to a stack of these fluffy pancakes! 

 Maple Syrup: There’s truly nothing better than homemade pancakes with sweet maple syrup! Pour on as much as you like, and feel free to add some butter. 

 Whipped Cream: Sweetened whipped cream is the perfect partner for hearty pancakes at breakfast time—and it tastes even better when paired with the other toppings on this list! 

 Nuts: A sprinkle of chopped walnuts, pecans, or other nuts adds the perfect crunch to soft, fluffy pancakes. Try using candied pecans for an extra touch of sweetness.

Popular Pancake Toppings

These fluffy pancakes are best served fresh off the griddle, but knowing how to reheat them properly can come in handy. Whether your pancakes have gotten cold while waiting on breakfast guests or you’ve got leftovers in the fridge or freezer, here’s how we’d recommend reheating them. Once they’re hot and ready, just add your favorite toppings and enjoy! 

 In the Microwave (Recommended): To microwave pancakes that are room temperature, place them on a microwave-safe plate, cover them with a damp paper towel and microwave your pancakes on high until they’re heated through (about 20 to 30 seconds per pancake). If they’ve been chilling in the fridge, just increase the microwave time to about 30 to 60 seconds. Frozen pancakes will need about 1 to 2 minutes each, and you can flip them halfway through the microwave time if necessary. 
 
 In the Toaster: Want to know one of our favorite breakfast food hacks? Using the toaster to easily reheat pancakes! Place each pancake in a toaster slot, then toast it on a low setting until it’s heated through and crispy on the edges.

Not sure how to tell when your homemade pancakes are ready to flip? If your griddle is set to the right heat and your pancakes are all the recommended size, they should only need 2 to 3 minutes of cooking time on one side before you flip them over.

As each pancake cooks, bubbles should start to form on the surface. Wait until the bubbles begin to pop and leave small holes behind—this means the bottom of the pancake has cooked enough. The edges of your pancakes should also start to look set and slightly dry. If you gently lift the edge of a pancake with your spatula and it easily releases from the pan without breaking, it should be ready to flip. If you notice a golden-brown color on the cooked side of your pancake, you’ve done it just right!

How Do I Know When to Flip Pancakes?

If the family didn’t finish your whole batch of homemade pancakes, don’t worry—you can freeze them to enjoy another day! Let them cool completely at room temperature before storing them to avoid condensation. Place your leftover pancakes inside a resealable freezer bag, making sure to press out as much air as possible. Place the bag in the freezer, and freeze your pancakes for about 1 to 2 months. When you’re ready to reheat them, just follow our reheating instructions above—you can use a toaster or microwave to heat them until they’re hot. Enjoy!

Can I Freeze Pancakes?

Follow this recipe for fluffy pancakes, and your results should speak for themselves—but if you can’t get enough fluff, here are some simple tips to ensure a stack of super soft, fluffy pancakes.

Don’t Overmix Batter: Overmixing the pancake batter can lead to tough and dense pancakes, so stir the wet and dry ingredients together until they are just combined. If there are some lumps left in the batter, that’s perfectly fine! If it's too thick to pour, you can add a little more milk (1 to 2 tablespoons) to thin out your batter slightly.

Let Batter Rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a lighter texture. Allow the batter to sit for about 5-10 minutes before cooking the pancakes on the griddle.

Ensure Correct Griddle Temperature: Make sure your griddle is heated to the correct temperature before cooking the pancakes. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will brown too quickly on the outside while remaining raw inside. If it isn’t hot enough, they won't rise properly. Aim for a medium-high heat.

Substitute Buttermilk: Ever wondered why restaurant pancakes are so perfectly fluffy? Many restaurants use buttermilk instead of regular milk when making pancakes. Using buttermilk results in a fluffier and softer texture due to its interaction with baking soda and other pancake ingredients. To make this swap, you’ll want to use 1 cup of buttermilk instead of the 3/4 cup of regular milk called for in this homemade pancake recipe. You’ll also need to decrease the amount of baking powder to 1 teaspoon, and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to your batter. Make sure your baking soda and baking powder are fresh and unexpired—this will help ensure the best rise on your fluffy pancakes!
