Fluffy Pancake Recipe
Light, airy, and perfectly golden pancakes that are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl for batter preparation
- 1 Whisk for mixing ingredients
- 1 Non-stick Skillet for cooking pancakes
- 1 Spatula for flipping pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or additional butter for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. 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 and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
📌For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg white, beat it to stiff peaks, and fold it into the batter at the end.
📌Buttermilk can be used instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor.
📌Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense pancakes.
