About this recipe

These classic fluffy pancakes are a breakfast favorite, known for their soft and airy texture. Perfect for weekend brunch or any morning indulgence, they are quick to make with ingredients you likely have at home. Enjoy them stacked high with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.

  5. 5

    Use a 1/4 cup measure to pour batter onto the skillet, forming pancakes.

  6. 6

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

  7. 7

    Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid burning.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with your choice of syrup, fruit, or other toppings.

Chef's tip

These pancakes are easily customizable—try adding blueberries to the batter or a sprinkle of cinnamon for variation.
