Best Fluffy Pancakes
Description
Best Fluffy Pancakes use a classic mix of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, combined with milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and an egg. The ratio of leavening agents and resting the batter briefly help the pancakes rise evenly and develop a soft crumb. Cooking over low to medium heat allows them to brown gently without burning, while bubbles on the surface signal the right moment to flip them.
The result is pancakes that are both tender and slightly airy, with a rich vanilla note. They can be served warm with syrup, fresh berries, nuts, or any preferred toppings, making them a versatile breakfast option for many tastes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk (substitute with almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup butter melted and cooled (substitute with plant-based butter for dairy-free, unsalted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 egg large
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Add the milk, cooled melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg into the well. Begin by whisking the wet ingredients in the center, gradually incorporating the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. If your batter is too thick, add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until pourable.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan, spreading into a round shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown and the pancake is cooked through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings.
