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
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.)
Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
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.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
