This recipe yields light and fluffy pancakes perfect for a weekend breakfast or a cozy brunch.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Flip and Cook: Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
Tips:
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a tangier flavor.
- Add mix-ins to the batter such as blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
Enjoy your delicious homemade pancakes!
