Here’s how to make soft, fluffy pancakes—light, airy, and perfect for breakfast:
🥞 Fluffy Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
🧑🍳 Instructions:
- Mix dry ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine:
- Pour wet into dry and mix gently.
- Don’t overmix—a few lumps are okay (this keeps pancakes fluffy).
- Rest batter:
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes (important for softness).
- Cook:
- Heat a pan on medium-low and lightly grease.
- Pour batter and cook until bubbles form on top.
- Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
😋 Tips for Extra Fluffiness:
- Don’t press pancakes while cooking
- Cook on medium-low (high heat = burnt outside, raw inside)
- Add a little extra baking powder for thicker pancakes
🍯 Toppings:
- Honey or maple syrup
- Butter + sugar
- Fresh fruits (banana, berries)
- Chocolate chips
🔥 Variations:
- Banana pancakes: mash 1 banana into the batter
- Protein pancakes: add protein powder + a bit more milk
- Chocolate: mix in cocoa powder or chocolate chips
