Easy Fluffy Pancakes
These homemade pancakes from scratch are SO FLUFFY and easy to make. I've been making these for weekend breakfast for as long as I can remember, and they are always a hit. Soft, fluffy, and perfect with all your favorite pancake toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup melted butter (or oil)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good whisk to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. It's okay if the butter solidifies at this step.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, then whisk until JUST combined (there should still be lots of lumps). Be careful not to over-mix or else they will not be as fluffy.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Scoop ¼ cup of batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the edges dry up and bubbles begin forming on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve with syrup or your favorite toppings!
