Ingredients

As I mentioned before, this recipe only uses simple ingredients. And they're actually all baking staples, so you definitely have all of them at home.

Anyway, here's what you'll need to make this pancake recipe: 

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
• ⅛ tsp. Salt
• 4 tbsp. Sugar
• 2 Eggs beaten
• ½-1 cup Milk (any kind of milk works)
• 2 tbsp. Oil
• 1 tbsp. maple syrup
• Butter and maple syrup, to serve

See what I mean? Super simple stuff, right?!

Now, for the type of oil you can use, I suggest using canola oil. It has the mildest flavor and works well when making soft and fluffy pancakes. However, if you don't have canola oil, you can also use coconut oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil.

And, of course, feel free to get adventurous with your pancake toppings! You can add on fresh berries, banan slices, or whipped cream. Or you can even add chocolate chips into the pancake batter to make chocolate chip pancakes!

How to Make McDonald's Pancakes

Ok, so to cook the perfect McDonald's pancakes, you can use a skillet, griddle, or frying pan. Whichever method you use, just make sure the temperature isn't too high, or you'll end up with pancakes that are raw inside and burnt on the outside.

As long as you have an even temperature, these pancakes will come out hot and fluffy.

Now that we covered that, it's time to get out all of the ingredients, and make some Mcdonald's hotcakes!

Step 1: Make the Batter

First, take out a large mixing bowl and add all of the ingredients to it. That would be the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, beaten eggs, milk, maple syrup, and oil.

Now mix all of the ingredients with a whisk until they combine and there are no lumps left. 

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Next, preheat a non-stick skillet to medium-low. Once it's hot, grease it with butter and make sure to cover the entire surface.

Then, use a ⅓ measuring cup to pour some of the batter onto the skillet. Oh, and you can cook more than one pancake at a time depending on how big your griddle or frying pan is. 

Now let the pancakes cook for a few minutes, and once the batter looks bubbly, flip the pancake and cook for about another minute or two on the other side.

Step 3: Serve

Once you cook each pancake, stack it on a plate, so they keep each other warm until you've cooked all of the batter.

Then, serve these Mcdonald's hotcakes with some butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup or topping you desire.

Enjoy!

How to Store McDonald's Pancakes

This McDonalds pancakes recipe will make about 6 pancakes depending on how big you make them.

And this is a great make-ahead recipe since they store so well! And, since they do, you'll want to make a big batch of 'em so you can easily reheat them whenever you're in a rush or are craving pancakes at home.

Anyway, if you have any leftovers, let them cool completely and then wrap them in plastic wrap. Alternatively, you can put them in a resealable bag or airtight container and store them like that.

These McDonalds pancakes will store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

By the way, if you want to freeze them, first put the pancakes on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag, and the pancakes will last for up to 3 months.

How To Reheat Pancakes

As I mentioned, these pancakes are delicious reheated! Honestly, I think they come out just as good as when you make them fresh.

And to reheat them, you can either use the microwave, oven, or toaster!

Here are the best ways to reheat frozen pancakes.
