Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:Â In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:Â In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:Â Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
- Cook the Pancakes:Â Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
