Here’s a classic, fluffy pancake recipe—perfect for breakfast or brunch 🥞
Fluffy Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine: Pour wet into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Batter may be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook pancakes: Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden.
- Serve: Stack pancakes, top with butter, syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg; beat the white until stiff peaks form and fold in gently.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 95°C) while cooking the rest.
- Variations: Add blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed banana to the batter before cooking.
This is a classic, versatile pancake recipe that works every time.
