fluffy pancakes recipe
nothing beats a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes for breakfast. this easy recipe gives you light and airy pancakes with a soft, buttery texture. perfect with syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar!
ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
instructions:
1. mix dry ingredients: in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. mix wet ingredients: in another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. mix well.
3. combine: slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. stir until just combined—don’t overmix! the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. preheat pan: heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. cook pancakes: pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2 minutes). flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. serve & enjoy: stack them up and serve with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings!
tips for extra fluffy pancakes:
• don’t overmix the batter—lumps are okay!
• let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
• cook on medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring they cook through.
• for extra fluffiness, separate the egg, whip the egg white until stiff peaks form, and fold it into the batter.
