You got it! 🥞 Here’s a classic fluffy pancake recipe that comes out soft, thick, and light every time—perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients (makes about 8–10 pancakes)
- 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 3½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups (300 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (or oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Mix wet ingredients
In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
3. Combine
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
Stir gently just until combined—a few lumps are okay (overmixing = flat pancakes).
4. Rest the batter
Let the batter rest 5–10 minutes. This helps make the pancakes extra fluffy.
5. Cook
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface (2–3 minutes), then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Tips for Extra Fluffiness
- Don’t press the pancakes after flipping.
- Use fresh baking powder.
- For ultra-fluffy pancakes, separate the egg, beat the egg white until soft peaks, and gently fold it in last.
Serving Ideas
- Butter & maple syrup
- Fresh berries and whipped cream
- Banana slices and honey
- Chocolate chips folded into the batter
