Best Fluffy Pancake – Soft, Light, and Perfect Every Single Time!
If you’re looking for that tall, cloud-like pancake with a golden edge and a buttery inside—this is it. No boxed mix can match the freshness, fluffiness, and cozy breakfast vibes of this homemade classic. Great with syrup, berries, or a simple pat of butter melting right on top!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
structions:
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently—don’t overmix! Batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.
Tips:
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking for extra fluff.
- Use buttermilk instead of milk for a tangier, softer pancake.
- Add chocolate chips, banana slices, or blueberries for fun variations.
FAQs:
Q: Why aren’t my pancakes fluffy?
A: Make sure your baking powder is fresh and don’t overmix the batter.
Q: Can I make the batter ahead of time?
A: Best to mix it fresh, but you can prepare dry and wet ingredients separately and combine right before cooking.
Q: Can I make them dairy-free?
A: Yes, use plant-based milk and oil or vegan butter!
