The Best Fluffy Pancakes

Deliciously fluffy pancakes that are light, soft, and perfect for breakfast or brunch.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter for the best texture. Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries for a fun twist!
