Fluffy Homemade Pancakes

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 10 pancakes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or cooking oil, for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes less fluffy.
  4. Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan again when needed.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.

Final Thoughts
