Fluffy Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

1½ cups all-purpose flour

3½ teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1¼ cups milk (room temperature)

1 large egg (room temperature)

3 tablespoons melted butter (or oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Mix wet ingredients

In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

Combine gently

Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir just until combined.

✔ Lumpy batter = fluffy pancakes

✘ Overmixing = flat pancakes

Rest the batter

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes. This makes a huge difference.

Cook

Heat a lightly greased pan or griddle over medium-low heat.

Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.

Flip

When bubbles form on top and edges look set (2–3 min), flip.

Cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

Serve hot

Butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream—your call.
