Classic Fluffy Pancake Recipe 🥞✨


 

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: floursugarbaking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: milkeggmelted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined.
    • Tip: It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy – overmixing can make pancakes tough.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  2. To test if the pan is ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface – if they sizzle and evaporate, you’re good to go.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour batter onto the skillet.
  2. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm.
  2. Top with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or any of your favorite toppings.
