Ingredients
To embark on your fluffy pancakes journey, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour: Provides the base for your pancakes.
- 2 tablespoons sugar: Enhances the sweetness and browning.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder: The secret ingredient that makes pancakes rise.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Balances the sweetness.
- 1 cup milk: You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- 1 large egg: Adds richness and binding.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted: Introduces moisture and flavor. Coconut oil is a great substitute for a dairy-free option.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For an extra depth of flavor.
Instructions
⭕ Step 1: Whisk Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure these are mixed well to evenly distribute the baking powder, which is crucial for achieving fluffiness.
⭕ Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. These ingredients should be well-combined until the egg is fully incorporated.
⭕ Step 3: Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
⭕ Step 4: Preheat the Pan
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Ensure it’s well-greased with a little butter or oil. Waiting for that sizzle before the batter hits the pan is essential for a perfect pancake crust.
⭕ Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (~2-3 minutes), and then flip. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
⭕ Step 6: Serve Warm
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, berries, or whipped cream. Enjoy the fluffy goodness!
