Hey, friend, if today feels like a pancake day and you don’t have a house full of people to feed this morning, you are in the right spot. I have a bunch of pancakes for two recipes on the site: Pumpkin Pancakes, Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes, Banana Pancakes, but today’s recipe is for mornings when you’re flying solo: Pancakes for One. These are perfectly fluffy, soft and lovely pancakes just waiting to be slathered in butter, drizzled with syrup, and inhaled. They are SO good, super easy, and perfectly portioned for one. This recipe makes exactly two pancakes, so there are no leftovers. And the pancakes are made with pantry staples (no buttermilk required). If you have milk, an egg, and some basic baking supplies, you can make these this morning.

How to Make Pancakes for One

Pretty basic pancake stuff. Making pancakes for one isn’t really any different than making them for five except that you don’t have to haul out a griddle to cook them on (unless you want to). Serve your two pancakes with side of fruit, maybe some crispy bacon and a cup of coffee or homemade mocha, and enjoy a slow solo morning.

Pancakes for One Recipe Notes

For evenly cooked, golden pancakes, keep your heat to just medium. Any higher and your pancakes may burn before they are cooked through. For more recipes for one, try this Single Serve Mac and Cheese, Scalloped Potatoes, and Tomato Soup. This recipe uses just one egg yolk. Check out these Egg White Recipes for ideas on what to do with the leftover egg white.
