Classic Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

 (makes about 8 pancakes):

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients
   Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using). Stir until just combined. Do not overmix — the batter should be slightly lumpy.
3. Let the Batter Rest (Optional but recommended)
   Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes. This helps make the pancakes even fluffier.
4. Heat the Pan
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Cook the Pancakes
   Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve Warm
   Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or toppings of your choice.

🍓 Topping Ideas:

• Maple syrup
• Whipped cream
• Fresh berries or sliced bananas
• Nutella or peanut butter
• A dusting of powdered sugar
