Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. - Combine Both Mixtures:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay! - Preheat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. - Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. - Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, berries, or whipped cream.
Tips:
- For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while preparing the rest.
Enjoy your fluffy pancakes!
