Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour – The base for light and fluffy pancakes.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder – Helps the pancakes rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – Enhances the fluffiness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt – Balances the flavors.
  • 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness) – For a soft, moist texture.
  • 1 large egg – Adds structure and richness.
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan) – For a soft, tender crumb.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) – For added flavor.

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes in 5 Minutes

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. (Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy—some lumps are okay.)
  2. Heat the Pan:

    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:

    • Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
    • Cook for 1–2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
  4. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Pro Tips for Perfect Pancakes

  1. Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the pancakes dense. Mix until just combined.
  2. Test the Heat: Sprinkle a few drops of water on the skillet—if they sizzle, it’s ready.
  3. Use Buttermilk: For even fluffier pancakes, substitute milk with buttermilk.
  4. Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a warm oven (200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
