How this calculator works

This tool scales a classic pancake recipe (about 1.5 cups flour, 3.5 tsp baking powder, 1.25 cups milk, 1 egg, and melted butter) up or down based on the number of pancakes you want to make. The base recipe makes roughly 12 medium (4-inch) pancakes, so we divide your target by 12 to get a scale factor and multiply every ingredient by it.

Note: Actual pancake size and yield vary with your batter thickness and griddle size, so treat the results as a helpful starting point for general home cooking, not an exact guarantee.
