A quick and easy recipe for fluffy pancakes perfect for busy mornings, using simple pantry staples and adaptable for various dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (whole or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for the pan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: fresh berries, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry: pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; batter should be a little lumpy.
  4. Preheat pan: heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Cook pancakes: pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the pan, cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve warm: keep pancakes warm in a low oven if making multiple batches and serve with toppings like syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness. Preheat pan properly and grease lightly each batch to prevent sticking. Batter can be prepared the night before and stored in the fridge. Freeze leftovers between parchment paper for up to 2 months and reheat in toaster or oven.
