Best Fluffy Pancake

Imagine cutting into a warm stack of pancakes so light, fluffy, and golden that they practically melt in your mouth. These are the best fluffy pancakes you’ll ever make—tall, tender, and restaurant-quality, but completely homemade with simple ingredients.

Whether you’re cooking for weekend brunch, a lazy Sunday morning, or even breakfast-for-dinner, this recipe is your new go-to. No pancake mix required—just real ingredients, real flavor, and seriously satisfying fluff.

What Makes These Pancakes So Fluffy?

It’s all about a few key tricks:

  • Buttermilk gives the pancakes lift and tangy flavor
  • Baking powder + baking soda work together for extra rise
  • Minimal mixing keeps the batter light and airy
  • Resting the batter gives it time to puff up before cooking

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for greasing the pan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but amazing)
