Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup milk (any kind you like — yes, oat milk counts!)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
How to Make the Best Scrambled Pancakes
Step 1: Make the Batter
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and give them a good, lively whisk. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, stirring everything together into a dreamy mix.
In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Make a well in the center (like a little batter swimming pool) and pour in the wet mixture. Gently whisk everything together, starting from the outside and working your way in.
Pro Tip: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. Trust me—it’s like giving your pancakes a spa day. It hydrates the flour and makes the scramble extra tender!
Step 2: Cook the Scrambled Pancakes
Heat a non-stick griddle or large pan over medium-high heat. Add a dab of butter or a quick spritz of cooking spray—whatever your style—just make sure the surface is nicely coated.
Pour about ½ cup to 1 cup of batter onto the hot pan, depending on how much room you have. Let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute, until the edges start to firm up and a light crust forms.
Grab a silicone spatula and gently fold the pancake in half, like you’re making a quesadilla. Then, use your spatula to break it into big and little chunks. Keep flipping and tossing them around, letting the gooey spots cook through until everything is golden and perfectly done
Repeat with the rest of the batter, keeping your scrambled pancakes warm as you go.
Step 3: Serve It Up!
Plate your golden scramble and dust it with powdered sugar. Drizzle on some maple syrup, scoop on some berry syrup, or dive into a cozy bowl of apple sauce. However you top it, you’re winning.
Lily’s Little Tip
If your “scramble” looks messy… congratulations! That’s exactly the vibe. Messy = delicious here.
Also, if you want to get fancy (because hey, why not?), toss in a handful of chocolate chips, blueberries, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon into the batter before scrambling. 🍫
