Pancakes, flapjacks, hotcakes–whatever name you may call the classic breakfast food by–you should know that they are perfect for any occasion.

Eating pancakes is an excellent way to start the day because they are filling, versatile in terms of taste, and can be enjoyed with family and friends.

They don’t have to be exclusive to mornings, either. Pancakes work for any time of the day, including lunch, dinner, or even for dessert.

I truly believe that pancakes are the best comfort food. When you whip up a batch of them, the aroma brings joyful memories of past pancake meals to mind.

Pancakes can be prepared by anyone, whether you’re an experienced cook or not. Making any kind of pancake requires only a handful of ingredients.

It’s a simple process, and it’s made even simpler when you’re just feeding a small number of people.

TikToker Adam Durnford (@adurnford) has a recipe that makes six pancakes for when you’re not looking to feed a crowd. It’s the ideal amount for one or two people.

The recipe also works great if you need to double it and cook for more people.

So here’s what you need to get started!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup of flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons of sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 2/3 cup of milk

Directions:

First, whisk the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Then, mix both dry and wet together.

Next, fry the pancake batter in a greased pan on medium heat until bubbles begin to form on the surface. Flip them over and continue frying on the other side until the pancakes are springy to the touch.

Top your pancakes with whatever you’re into. Typically, pancakes are topped with syrup and some sort of fruit.

You could even serve this small batch of fluffy pancakes with bacon, fruit salad, and scrambled eggs!
