A quick and easy recipe for fluffy homemade pancakes using simple pantry ingredients, perfect for any morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. In a larger bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently fold together until just combined with some small lumps remaining. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate, the pan is ready.
  5. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil. Use a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup to pour batter onto the pan.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F/90°C) while finishing the batch.
  8. Serve immediately with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder for best results. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes before cooking. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a little flour. Avoid pressing pancakes while cooking.
