Who doesn’t love warm, soft and fluffy pancakes in the morning? This Fluffy Pancakes Recipe gives you light, airy pancakes every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk or plant milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: maple syrup berries, chocolate chips, whipped cream
Instructions
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Whisk Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir gently. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Preheat Pan
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour Batter
- Use a ladle or small cup to pour batter onto the pan. Make pancakes about 3–4 inches in diameter.
Cook First Side
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip Pancakes
- Carefully flip pancakes with a spatula. Cook the other side until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
Repeat Cooking
- Repeat with remaining batter. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a plate or in a low oven.
Serve Hot
- Stack pancakes on a plate. Top with maple syrup, fruits or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
Optional Garnish
- Add whipped cream, nuts or powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; it keeps pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use fresh baking powder and baking soda for best results.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning.
- Use a non-stick pan for easy flipping.
