Quick and Easy Fluffy Pancakes (from scratch)
Description
This pancake recipe begins by mixing milk and vinegar to create a sour milk base that reacts with baking soda and baking powder, helping the pancakes rise and become fluffy. Separately, dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda are combined before being added to the wet mixture of egg and melted butter with the soured milk. The batter is whisked until smooth with minimal lumps.
A skillet heated over medium heat is greased and used to cook pancakes in quarter-cup portions. The pancakes cook until bubbles appear on the surface, indicating readiness to flip, then cook on the other side until light golden brown. This process produces pancakes with a tender crumb and a slight crispness at the edges.
The pancakes can be served warm alongside butter and syrup or other toppings such as powdered sugar or fruit, providing a classic breakfast option made entirely from scratch.
