Here’s a perfectly fluffy pancake recipe — soft, thick, and golden every time 🥞✨
Fluffy Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Gently stir just until combined — lumps are okay (overmixing = flat pancakes).
- Cook
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes).
- Flip and cook 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Serve
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips for Extra Fluffiness
- Do not overmix the batter
- Let batter rest 5–10 minutes before cooking
- Use fresh baking powder
- Cook on medium heat — not too hot
Variations
- Add blueberries or chocolate chips
- Swap milk for buttermilk for extra tenderness
- Fold in mashed banana or cinnamon for flavor
If you want, I can also give you a buttermilk fluffy pancake, Japanese-style fluffy pancakes, or protein pancake version.
