Best fluffy pancake recipe
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ¼ cups milk (any type, including plant-based options)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing the skillet)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This ensures a light and airy texture.
Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Gently whisk until combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps in the batter are fine, as they help keep the pancakes tender.
- Heat the Skillet:
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. To test if it’s ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface—if they sizzle, you’re good to go.
- Cook the Pancakes:
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow spreading.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve immediately. Top with butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or any of your favorite toppings.
