Fluffy Homemade Pancakes Recipe

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:

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.  
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
