Best Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  5. Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter 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.
  6. Serve: Stack pancakes, top with butter, syrup, or fresh fruit, and enjoy warm.
