Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!

Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness. Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking, as this helps the pancakes rise even more. If the first pancake is too dark, adjust the heat down slightly for subsequent pancakes.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
• Incorporate blueberries or bananas for a fruity flavor.
• Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

Consider serving these pancakes with:

• Fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas.
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
• Whipped cream for a decadent finish.
• Maple syrup or honey for drizzling.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave until heated through. You can also freeze pancakes for up to 2 months; just thaw and reheat as needed.
