1. Classic Fluffy Pancakes
Why We Love Them:
Soft, thick, and slightly sweet, pancakes are pure comfort food. They soak up butter and syrup like a sponge and pair perfectly with everything from fruit to bacon.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix dry ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Combine wet and dry; stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Flip when bubbles form; cook until golden.
Pro Tip: For ultra-fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
