What Sets Easy Pancakes Apart?
With so many pancake recipes online, it’s hard to find one that is quick and easy , and guarantees you perfectly fluffy pancakes every time. We have awesome pancake recipes of our own, like our Buttermilk Pancakes and our The BEST Fluffy Pancakes . While they are delicious, they aren’t exactly quick.
Most pancake recipes you’ll find online consist of more than eight steps and a million different ingredients, making the preparation stage unnecessarily stressful. There’s no need for that, especially when you’re in a rush to feed teenagers or young kids. They don’t care about vanilla extract, buttermilk, or chilling batters. They just want pancakes… YESTERDAY. During the school holidays, these Easy Pancakes are my go-to. They’re ready, steaming hot, and on the table before my kids even realize it.
Quick and Easy Pancakes: Key Ingredients
The secret to these Easy Pancakes lies in their simple yet powerful ingredients. Each one brings something unique to the table, creating a fluffy, delicious pancake that’s sure to impress. Let’s dive into what makes this recipe truly exceptional.
- Flour: Choose high-quality all-purpose flour for the best results. Opt for unbleached flour to retain more nutrients and flavor. When measuring, be sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid over-packing, which can lead to dense pancakes.
- Milk: Use fresh, whole milk for a richer, creamier texture. If you’re looking for a lighter option, low-fat or skim milk will work just fine. For a dairy-free alternative, try almond milk or oat milk—they add a unique flavor twist while keeping the pancakes soft and fluffy.
- Eggs: Always use fresh, large eggs. The fresher the eggs, the better the pancakes will turn out. Look for eggs with a bright orange yolk, which indicates high-quality and freshness. Room temperature eggs mix more easily into the batter, creating a smoother consistency.
- Note: Please see Recipe Card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Okay, can we all agree that Taco Tuesday is literally the best night of the week?! It’s my go-to for a fun, easy dinner that I know everyone will love. And since this year’s National Taco Day is happening on a Tuesday (Oct 7th!), we are going ALL out!
I’ve gathered my absolute best, most-loved Taco Tuesday ideas to make your next taco night a total knockout. We are not the only ones crazy about Taco Tuesday Old El Paso is declaring October 7 “ National Taco Day-Off ” and giving you a chance to win a trip to a Cowboy Ranch.
How to Make The Quickest Tacos
I know weeknights are crazy! You want an amazing Taco Tuesday, but you need it FAST. These are my secret weapons for getting delicious tacos on the table in under 30 minutes.
- Prep Ahead: Chop your lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in the morning or the night before. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, you just have to set them out!
- Use Smart Shortcuts: Don’t be afraid to use pre-shredded cheese, a bag of slaw mix, or a good quality store-bought pico de gallo or guacamole to save time. You can find pico de gallo in the refrigerated section, I love the one from Trader Joe’s . It’s known for being consistently fresh, chunky, and having a great flavor. My biggest tip for any store-bought pico is to drain off any extra liquid at the bottom of the container and give it a stir. If you want to make it taste homemade, add a quick squeeze of fresh lime juice and a little chopped cilantro. It makes all the difference!
- Cook The Meat in Batches: I love to cook a double batch of taco meat on Sunday. I use half for dinner that night and save the other half for Tuesday. It reheats in minutes and its good to store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
What to stuff in a Perfect Taco?
Building the perfect taco is an art, and it’s all about the layers! Here’s my guide to the essential components.
- The Tortilla: Choose your base! Flour tortillas are soft and pliable, great for over-stuffed tacos these are my personal favourite, I use the Tortilla Land uncooked flour tortillas. You find them in the refrigerated section and cook them in a hot pan for about 30 seconds per side. They puff up and taste incredible. Corn tortillas offer an authentic, slightly sweet flavor and are amazing when quickly charred on a gas stove or in a hot pan. Hard Shells give you that classic, satisfying crunch.
- The Protein: While the recipes below give you tons of options, don’t be afraid to mix it up! Pick from seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, spicy chorizo, or black beans for a great veggie option.
- The Toppings (The Best Part!): Get creative with a taco bar! Set out bowls of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole!
