🥞 Classic Pancakes
Fluffy, golden pancakes are a breakfast favorite and can be served with syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or any toppings you love.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, beat together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Combine
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
4. Cook Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set.
- Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Serve
- Stack pancakes and top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
⭐ Pro Tips:
- Let batter rest 5–10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
- Use medium heat; too high burns the outside while leaving the inside raw.
- For extra fluffiness, separate the egg, beat the white to stiff peaks, and fold in last.
