Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix. Do not overmix — a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes).
  7. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Tips for Extra Fluffy Pancakes

  • Don’t overmix the batter — this keeps the pancakes soft.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use medium heat to avoid burning while cooking evenly.
  • Add a splash of milk if the batter feels too thick.

Serve warm with:

  • Maple syrup
