Pancakes hold a special place in the hearts of breakfast enthusiasts around the world, and the Best Fluffy Pancakes Recipe is a must-have for any home cook’s repertoire.
Ingredients
Scale
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin your pancake journey by placing the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Grab a whisk and thoroughly blend these dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, it’s time to handle the wet ingredients. Beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
- Now, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir them together, mixing just until the ingredients are moistened. Allow the batter to rest for 5–10 minutes.
- With your skillet preheated to medium heat, lightly grease it with butter. Pour a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Watch as bubbles appear on the surface; carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter; this can lead to dense, flat pancakes instead of airy ones. Allowing the batter to rest is crucial as it gives baking powder time to activate, creating fluffiness.
