Who doesn’t love a stack of warm, fluffy pancakes? Whether it’s for a lazy weekend breakfast or a special occasion, pancakes are a classic favorite. In this recipe, we’ll walk you through how to make the perfect pancakes that are light, fluffy, and full of flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream

Instructions:

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure the dry ingredients are well combined.

Step 2: In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently. It’s important not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 5: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
