Description
Learn how to make fluffy homemade pancakes that are light, airy, and perfectly golden. This easy recipe uses simple pantry ingredients and is ready in just 20 minutes, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined—lumps are okay! Overmixing leads to tough pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Let your batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
- Use whole milk for richer flavor and texture, but any milk works.
- For evenly cooked pancakes, keep your skillet at a steady medium heat.
