    Electric Skillet Pancakes

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video

    The sweet smell of these pancakes is what I woke up to nearly every weekend in my childhood. Now my kids ask for Grandma's pancakes every time they head over to her house for a visit.

    Grandma's pancake recipe is very simple to make. They turn out golden and fluffy when cooked in an electric skillet.

    Pancakes piled on a plate with chocolate chips and maple syrup.

    My daughter loves making these pancakes and even created her own recipe based on this version of pancakes: pancake bread. They are slightly sweet so you can eat them on their own but still add sweet toppings if desired.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup canola oil
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract
    • 2 ¼ cups milk - or add enough to reach desired consistency
    • 1 tablespoon canola oil - for frying

    Instructions
     

    • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
      3 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt
    • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, almond extract and milk.
      ¼ cup canola oil, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 2 ¼ cups milk
    • Add 1 tablespoon canola oil to the skillet. Heat electric skillet to 350°F/175°C.
    • Blend the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients using a wired whisk or fork. You can leave some lumps to avoid over-mixing.
    • Pour roughly ⅓ cup of the batter onto the skillet, leaving 1 ½” of space in between pancakes to leave room for flipping. You may be able to cook 1 to 3 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your electric skillet.
    • Cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake. Flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden, approximately 1 minute.
    • Transfer to plate or heated tray to keep warm.
    • Continue cooking the remaining batter. Serve with desired syrup and toppings. One of my favorite toppings for pancakes is sour cream and maple syrup.

    Equipment

    • Electric Skillet

    Notes

    • TIP: Try sprinkling ingredients like chocolate chips or sliced bananas onto the pancakes directly after you pour the batter onto the skillet for some added taste and texture.
    • Temperature: If the pancakes are cooking too quickly and getting dark before bubbles form, try lowering the temperature in the skillet to 325°F. I find that thick batter needs a lower temp.
    • Storage: Leftover pancakes should keep, covered in the fridge, for up to a week. You can freeze them for up to 2 months. They can be reheated in a microwave.
