These soft and fluffy pancakes are thick, light, and perfectly golden with a tender melt-in-your-mouth texture. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, they’re easy to make and taste far better than boxed mixes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Gently stir until combined. Small lumps are fine—do not overmix or the pancakes may become dense.
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a lightly greased skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the pan for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve
Stack the pancakes and serve warm with:
- Maple syrup
- Butter
- Fresh berries
- Honey
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate chips
Tips for Extra Fluffy Pancakes
- Do not press pancakes down while cooking.
- Let the batter rest before cooking.
- Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Conclusion
These soft and fluffy pancakes are easy, comforting, and perfect every time. Light, airy, and delicious, they’ll quickly become a favorite breakfast recipe.
ENJOY!
