Description
There’s nothing like a comforting stack of fluffy pancakes to start your day. With this quick and easy recipe, you’ll have golden, airy pancakes ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1¼ cups milk (preferably whole milk)
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk and melted butter. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure baking powder is fresh for optimal fluffiness. For extra lift, you can separate the egg, whip the whites to stiff peaks, and fold them in at the end.
