Fluffy Pancakes
A simple recipe for light and fluffy pancakes, perfect for brunch or breakfast any day of the week.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 0.5 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter Plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about ΒΌ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes
A few lumps in the batter are fine to keep the pancakes fluffy. Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter, and keep pancakes warm in the oven while cooking additional batches. Variations may include adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or bananas to the batter.
