Ingredients

Self-Rising Flour – The self-rising flour (or self-raising flour) in this recipe is made up of all-purpose flour, the right amount of baking powder, and a little bit of salt, making it perfect for quick and easy pancakes. You can also make your own self-rising flour!

Eggs – Use large eggs in this recipe, or easily make it vegan with a vegan egg substitute instead.

Milk – Feel free to use just about any type of milk! Regular milk, buttermilk (for fluffy buttermilk pancakes – yum!), oat milk, cashew milk, soy, or even almond milk all work great.

Sugar – Regular sugar or raw sugar is perfect in this recipe. A little bit goes a long way!

Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract adds so much flavor to these pancakes!

Butter – You only need about 1 Tablespoon of butter for cooking these self-rising pancakes. However, you can also use any cooking oil instead!

How to Make Pancakes with Self-Rising Flour

It doesn’t get any easier than this recipe! Here’s how to make pancakes with self-rising flour:

  1. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla together.
  2. Combine with self-rising flour in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Heat the butter up in a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (or until there are bubbles and they begin to turn golden brown).
  5. Repeat for the rest of the pancakes!

Tips for Success

  • Lumps in the batter are okay! It’s important not to overmix the batter.
  • This recipe makes extra-fluffy pancakes, but feel free to thin out the pancakes by adding a little bit more milk to the batter (2-3 Tablespoons can go a long way)!
  • Use a large skillet to make 2-3 pancakes at a time.

How to Store Self-Rising Flour Pancakes

Make a big batch of this recipe and store it for easy breakfasts all week long! Here’s how to store self-rising flour pancakes:

Refrigerator – Let the pancakes cool completely and place in an airtight container. Add the lid and store in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Freezer – To freeze, let the pancakes cool in an airtight container without the lid in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Once they’re cold, add the airtight lid and store in the freezer for up to 3 months!

    Beware of the link to Self Rising Flour. That recipe has 1/2 teaspoon salt per cup of flour, which is way too much! Many other recipes for self-rising flour use 1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour (plus the baking powder).
