Fluffy Pancakes
Soft, fluffy pancakes that are perfect for a leisurely breakfast or satisfying brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don't overmix! Leaving a few small lumps is perfectly fine.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and bubbles start to form and pop in the center.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- For even fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Don't crowd the pan. Cook a few pancakes at a time to give them room to spread.
- Want a little extra flavor? Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
