Copycat McDonald's Pancakes Recipe
This McDonald’s pancake recipe brings a beloved fast food breakfast menu item into your own kitchen. Make a copycat version with healthier ingredients and save your money (and gas!) with a homemade alternative to the drive-through. These hotcakes are light and fluffy, with a buttery flavor you’ll love.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose white flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Whisk all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Then, add the wet ingredients (reserve the butter) and combine well until there are no lumps, but don’t over-mix.
- Add ½ tablespoon butter to the hot griddle or pan. Scoop ⅓ cup of batter and fry it in butter. Wait until the edges rise away from the pan and the bubbles begin to pop before flipping and cooking the other side for 60 seconds. Repeat and cook all the batter. Add more butter to the pan whenever it dries up or the pancakes start sticking.
- Serve hot with maple and butter or any of the optional toppings listed above in the post text.
