You’re looking for a soft, fluffy pancake recipe — the kind that’s light, airy, and melts in your mouth. Here’s a classic version you can make at home
🥘 Ingredients (makes 8 pancakes)
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tbsp sugar
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
1 cup milk (room temperature)
-
1 large egg
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
-
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Combine
-
Gently fold wet into dry ingredients. Do not overmix — the batter should be slightly lumpy (this keeps pancakes fluffy).
4. Cook Pancakes
-
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
-
Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
-
Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook 1–2 minutes until golden.
5. Serve
-
Stack them up and serve warm with butter, maple syrup, honey, or fruit. 🍓🍯
✅ Tips for Extra Softness:
-
Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for tangy, fluffy pancakes.
-
Separate the egg: beat the white to soft peaks and fold into the batter for extra airy pancakes.
-
Don’t press pancakes down while cooking — let them rise naturally.
