Here’s a classic pancake recipe to make fluffy and delicious pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
Enjoy your homemade pancakes for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat! Feel free to customize the recipe by adding mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed bananas to the batter.
