Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
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.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about ¼ 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.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes
✔ Don’t Overmix: The batter should be slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
✔ Check Your Baking Powder: Expired baking powder won’t give your pancakes the proper rise.
✔ Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes helps create the best texture.
✔ Perfect Flipping Time: Flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry.
✔ For Extra Fluffiness: Try using buttermilk or whipping egg whites separately before folding them in.
✔ Keep Pancakes Warm: Place cooked pancakes in a 200°F oven while you finish cooking the rest.
Now, grab your ingredients and get ready to make the best fluffy pancakes ever! 🥞✨
