Ever dreamed of just eating some McDonald's hotcakes right at home?
You've got your wish using my copycat recipe with a few simple ingredients like flour, sugar, milk, and eggs!
The secret to nailing that fluffy, golden texture is all in the mix.
Don't overmix your batter—leaving those lumps helps give the pancakes their signature fluffiness!

Ingredients
  
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
Instructions
 
  • Mix the wet ingredients first. In a bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil, and maple syrup.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine here.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with oil.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each cake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
