Best Fluffy Pancakes 🥞✨
Light as clouds, golden-brown, and melt-in-your-mouth tender—this is the only pancake recipe you’ll ever need!
Ingredients (Makes 8-10 pancakes)
- 1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 2½ tsp baking powder (key to fluffiness!)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1¼ cups (300ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (+ extra for greasing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but heavenly)
Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, beat milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Make the Batter
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (lumps are okay—overmixing = tough pancakes!).
4. Cook to Perfection
- Heat a skillet/griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (~2-3 mins), then flip and cook 1-2 mins more.
5. Serve Warm
- Stack high with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream!
💡 Pro Tips:
- Extra fluffy? Let batter rest 5-10 mins before cooking.
- Buttermilk hack: Swap milk for 1 cup buttermilk + ¼ cup regular milk (adds tang and lift).
- Crispy edges? Use a cast-iron skillet.
These pancakes are foolproof and family-approved—bookmark this recipe for lazy weekends! ☀️
