🥞 The Best Fluffy Pancakes Ever! 🥞
If you’re dreaming of soft, fluffy, golden pancakes, this is the recipe you’ve been waiting for!
Perfect for slow Sunday mornings, birthday breakfasts, or anytime you need a little extra comfort on your plate.
Simple ingredients, easy steps, and endless topping possibilities — let’s make pancake magic happen!
Ingredients
- 🥣 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 🥄 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
- 🍬 1 tablespoon sugar
- 🥛 1 ¼ cups milk
- 🥚 1 egg
- 🧈 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 🍦 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients — milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.
- Sift in the dry ingredients — flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar — and stir gently until combined.
- Tip: It’s perfectly fine if the batter is a little lumpy. Don’t overmix — that’s the secret to fluffy pancakes!
- If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of milk until it reaches a pourable consistency.
2. Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
- Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set — about 2 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1 minute until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Serve and Enjoy!
- Stack the pancakes high, drizzle with maple syrup, and add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, banana slices, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
