Fluffy Homemade Pancakes
Fluffy Homemade Pancakes are made using a combination of whole milk and vinegar to create a buttermilk-like base, mixed with flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda for lift. Eggs and melted butter add richness and tenderness. When cooked, the pancakes develop a golden brown exterior with a soft and airy interior. They can be served warm with syrup, fruit, or other breakfast accompaniments. The recipe includes suggestions for substitutions and tips for keeping the pancakes warm during serving.

Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups milk whole
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Whisk together the milk and vinegar in a medium bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla to the bowl with the milk and vinegar. Whisk to combine.
- Add the flour mixture to the milk mixture and whisk to combine.
- Spray nonstick cooking spray into a large skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan to create pancakes that are about 5” wide. Once the pancake begins to bubble (about 2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. The pancakes should be cooked to golden brown on both sides.

Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking flour.
- Lemon juice can replace white vinegar to achieve the same acidity effect.
- Maple syrup, honey, or agave can be used as alternative sweeteners.
- Egg replacers like applesauce can be used but may alter the fluffiness of the pancakes.
- To keep pancakes warm during cooking, place cooked ones on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
