Fluffy Homemade Pancakes
Everyone loves starting their day with a stack of warm and fluffy pancakes. They’re a classic breakfast favorite for a reason! Not only are they delicious and versatile, but they’re also surprisingly easy to make from scratch. In this post, we’ll go over a simple recipe that will help you create the perfect pancakes in no time.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if you’re using it. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has small lumps – do not overmix.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can test to see if the pan is hot enough by flicking a few drops of water on it; if they dance and sizzle, it’s ready.
- Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until the surface of the pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, about 1-2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 more minutes.
- Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or whipped cream.
There you have it, delicious homemade pancakes that are fluffy and ready to be devoured. This recipe serves about 2-3 people, so adjust the quantities accordingly if you’re feeding more. Enjoy your fabulous breakfast creation!
