The Best Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Look no further — the world’s best fluffy pancakes are right here! Light, soft, and full of flavor, they’ll make your weekend mornings unforgettable.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/4 cups fresh milk (any type)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Batter
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla (if using). Mix gently until just combined — do not overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to set (around 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1 minute or until golden.
3. Serve
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or butter. Enjoy!
Pro Tips
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
- Use whole milk for richer flavor, or substitute with almond or oat milk.
- Don’t press down on the pancakes while cooking — let them rise naturally.
Serving Ideas
Try topping your fluffy pancakes with caramelized bananas, chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a restaurant-worthy breakfast treat.
