How to Make Fluffy & Delicious Pancakes

Quick Overview

This recipe is as easy as it gets. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have a stack of golden, fluffy pancakes that are perfect for any occasion. The key is to mix the batter gently and cook them on a medium heat for even browning.

Key Ingredients for Fluffy & Delicious Pancakes

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour: The base of your batter.
• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder: For that perfect rise.
• 1 teaspoon salt: To balance the sweetness.
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar: Just enough to sweeten the deal.
• 1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk: Whole milk works best for richness.
• 1 egg: Adds structure and fluffiness.
• 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted: For a rich, buttery flavor.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional): Adds a hint of warmth.
• Butter or oil for cooking: To prevent sticking.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
4. Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve Warm: Stack them high, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

What to Serve With Pancakes

• Fresh Fruit: Berries, bananas, or sliced peaches add a refreshing touch.
• Syrup: Maple syrup, honey, or even chocolate syrup for a decadent twist.
• Whipped Cream: Because why not?
• Savory Sides: Bacon, sausage, or scrambled eggs for a hearty breakfast.

Top Tips for Perfecting Fluffy & Delicious Pancakes

1. Don’t Overmix the Batter: Lumps are good! Overmixing leads to dense pancakes.
2. Use a Non-Stick Pan: This ensures even cooking and easy flipping.
3. Keep the Heat Medium: Too hot, and they’ll burn; too low, and they won’t rise properly.
4. Experiment with Add-Ins: Try chocolate chips, blueberries, or even a dash of cinnamon.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Storing: Place leftover pancakes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Reheating: Pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick warm-up. For freezing, layer pancakes between parchment paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

There you have it the ultimate guide to making Fluffy & Delicious Pancakes. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday or a busy weekday, this recipe is sure to brighten your morning. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your spatula and start flipping
