This Fluffy Pancake recipe delivers light, airy pancakes perfect for a delicious breakfast or brunch. Made with simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and whole milk, these pancakes are easy to whip up and cook quickly on a griddle or frying pan. The batter is gently mixed to maintain fluffiness, then cooked until golden brown and served warm—ideal with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

Instructions

  1. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to ensure a light, lump-free base for the batter.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the whole milk, vanilla extract, large egg, and melted butter. Whisk the mixture gently until smooth; avoid over-mixing to keep the batter fluffy.
  3. Preheat Pan: Heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter, oil, or cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, indicating the bottom is set, then flip carefully with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown.
  5. Serve and Store: Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup or desired accompaniments. Store any leftovers in an airtight bag in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave when ready to eat.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
  • Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
  • Use a ¼ cup measure for uniform pancakes that cook evenly.
  • Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated without losing quality.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
