Description
These fluffy pancakes are light, airy, and perfectly golden—ideal for a cozy weekend breakfast or brunch. With simple ingredients and easy step-by-step instructions, this recipe guarantees a tall, cloud-like stack every time.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup whole milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (cooled slightly)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Scoop ¼ cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2–3 minutes).
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Stack, serve warm, and top with your favorite syrup or fruit.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter—small lumps mean fluffier pancakes.
For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
Freeze extras in a single layer, then reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast.
