Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¾ cups (420 ml) milk
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together evenly to distribute all dry components uniformly.
  2. Create Well for Wet Ingredients: Make a well or indentation in the center of the dry mixture to accommodate the wet ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and crack the egg into the well you created in the dry mixture.
  4. Combine Batter: Gently whisk the ingredients together with a light hand, mixing until just combined. A few small lumps are okay as they help maintain a fluffy texture in the cooked pancakes.
  5. Adjust Batter Consistency: If the batter appears too thick, add a little more milk to achieve a pourable consistency appropriate for pancakes.
  6. Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
  7. Pour Pancake Batter: Using a ladle, pour approximately ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the heated cooking surface, shaping into round circles with smooth motions.
  8. Cook First Side: Allow the pancakes to cook undisturbed until bubbles form on the surface and the edges turn a golden brown color, signaling readiness to flip.
  9. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula to cook the opposite side, achieving an even golden-brown color.
  10. Cook Remaining Pancakes: Repeat the process with the remainder of the batter, maintaining a consistent cooking temperature and technique.
  11. Serve: Plate the fluffy pancakes and serve warm with maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruits for a delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; small lumps are beneficial.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to ease flipping and prevent sticking.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest to serve all at once.
  • Adjust milk quantity slightly for batter thickness preference.
  • Butter or oil can be used to grease the pan, but butter imparts richer flavor.
