🥞 Classic Fluffy Pancakes
A quick, easy, and versatile breakfast — perfect for weekends or a cozy morning.
🛒 Ingredients (Makes ~8 pancakes)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3️⃣ Combine
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until just combined — some lumps are okay. Overmixing makes pancakes tough.
4️⃣ Cook Pancakes
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Grease lightly with butter or oil.
- Pour ~¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set.
- Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
5️⃣ Serve
- Serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, nut butter, or chocolate chips.
💡 Tips
- For extra fluffiness: separate the egg, beat the white to soft peaks, and fold in at the end.
- Add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, or bananas can be mixed in before cooking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) until ready to serve.
