Here’s a foolproof recipe for fluffy, golden-brown pancakes 🥞✨
🥞 Fluffy Pancakes
Ingredients (Serves 3–4)
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (or oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3️⃣ Combine
Pour wet into dry and stir gently.
Do not overmix — small lumps are okay. Overmixing makes pancakes dense.
4️⃣ Rest Batter (Secret to Fluffiness!)
Let batter rest 5–10 minutes.
5️⃣ Cook
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form (about 2–3 minutes).
- Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
🔥 Tips for Extra Fluff
- Use room-temperature ingredients
- Don’t press pancakes down while cooking
- Flip only once
- Medium heat prevents burning while cooking through
Optional Add-ins
- Blueberries 🍇
- Chocolate chips 🍫
- Mashed banana 🍌
- Lemon zest 🍋
