Ultimate Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients (makes 8–10 pancakes)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar (or honey/maple syrup for natural sweetness)
1 ¼ cups milk (any kind works)
1 large egg
3 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for the pan)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional toppings: fresh fruit, chocolate chips, syrup, or whipped cream
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Don’t overmix—lumps are okay! Overmixing makes pancakes tough.
Heat pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
Cook pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Serve hot: Stack them up, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
💡 Pro tip: For extra fluff, separate the egg, whisk the white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the batter at the end. Pancakes will feel like little clouds! ☁️
If you want, I can give you a “fancy deluxe” version that makes them taste like a pancake shop but in your kitchen. It’s kinda magical. Do you want me to do that?
