🥞 Fluffy Pancakes
These pancakes are soft, thick, and extra fluffy with golden edges and a tender center.
📝 Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk (room temperature)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine: Pour wet into dry and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine — don’t overmix.
- Rest batter: Let sit 5–10 minutes (this helps them get extra fluffy).
- Cook: Heat a lightly buttered skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2–3 minutes), flip, and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
✨ Extra Fluffy Tip
For ultra-thick pancakes:
- Separate the egg.
- Beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
- Fold it gently into the batter last.
Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or chocolate chips.
If you’d like, I can also give you a buttermilk version or a diner-style recipe.
