Perfect choice! Pancakes are a classic breakfast favorite — soft, fluffy, and super easy to make. Here’s a detailed recipe for homemade pancakes that turn out golden and delicious every time.
Fluffy Homemade Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients (for about 10 pancakes)
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole or any preferred)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
3. Combine Batter
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until just combined — batter should be a little lumpy (don’t overmix or pancakes will be dense).
4. Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2 minutes).
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Serve
- Stack pancakes on a plate.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit, or a pat of butter.
Tips & Variations
- Extra Fluffy: Separate the egg, beat the white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the batter.
- Buttermilk Pancakes: Replace milk with buttermilk for a tangy, fluffier result.
- Add-ins: Mix in blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices.
- Savory Option: Skip sugar & vanilla, then add cheese, herbs, or cooked bacon bits.
