🔥 How to Make the Best Fluffy Pancakes
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Step 3: Combine & Rest the Batter
Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy—don’t overmix! Let it rest for 5-10 minutes while your pan heats up.
Step 4: Cook to Perfection
1️⃣ Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
2️⃣ Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes).
3️⃣ Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Stack them up and serve with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings!
🥞 Tips for the Fluffiest Pancakes
✅ Don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay—this keeps them soft and fluffy.
✅ Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
✅ Use medium heat to cook them evenly without burning.
✅ Flip once when bubbles appear—no pressing down with the spatula!
