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
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- 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.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
Tips for the Best Results
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.
