Make the best fluffy pancakes with this simple recipe! Just 8 basic ingredients for light, golden pancakes every time. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients:
- 50ml melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 300g all-purpose flour
- 75g granulated sugar
- 15g baking powder
- 2g salt
- 400ml milk
- 1 large egg
- 10ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract (if using), and melted butter. - Make the Batter:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine—overmixing makes pancakes tough. - Rest the Batter (Optional):
Let the batter sit for 5–10 minutes for fluffier results. - Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan.
- Cook until bubbles form on top (2–3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Serve & Enjoy:
Stack warm pancakes and top with syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
