Fluffy Pancakes
Light and airy pancakes that are easy to prepare and perfect for breakfast, served with a variety of toppings.
Ingredients
Pancake Mixture
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder Make sure it's fresh for the best rise.
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1.25 cups milk Almond milk or soy milk can be used as a substitute.
- 1 large egg For fluffier pancakes, consider separating the egg and whipping the whites.
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Optional, for added flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Make a well in the center and add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Mix gently until just combined. Remember, lumps are okay!
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, or nuts.
Notes
Don't overmix the batter; mixing just until combined helps keep the pancakes fluffy. You can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or banana slices for variations. Keep pancakes warm in the oven at a low temperature while finishing cooking the rest.
