Fluffy Homemade Pancakes
Soft, airy, and golden pancakes perfect for breakfast or brunch. Quick and easy to make with simple ingredients. Serve with syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite toppings.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and small)
- Whisk or fork
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Ladle or small cup for pouring batter
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups 190g all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cups 300ml milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Some lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while heating a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 1–2 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with syrup, fruits, or toppings of your choice.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, separate the egg white from the yolk, beat the whites until stiff peaks form, and fold into the batter.
- Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts for variety.
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
