Description
Experience the magic of truly fluffy homemade pancakes! This easy recipe guarantees golden, tender stacks that melt in your mouth, perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons (28g) melted unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
Instructions
Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar) into a large mixing bowl. Whisk gently to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients (melted butter, egg, milk) until well blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently—just until combined; leave a few lumps to ensure a fluffy texture. Do not overmix.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while your skillet or griddle heats over medium heat. This allows the baking powder to activate and flour to hydrate.
Lightly grease the hot griddle. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook the second side until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately.
Notes
Avoid overmixing the batter; lumps are okay and contribute to a fluffy texture.
Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
Maintain medium heat on your griddle for even browning without burning.
Keep cooked pancakes warm on a wire rack in a low oven while you finish the batch.
