Description

These pancakes are light, fluffy, and easy to make, perfect for breakfast or brunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these delicious pancakes that everyone will love.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, fresh berries, chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
  • Mix the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  • Serve: Serve hot with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
  • You can add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips directly to the batter before cooking.
