This recipe creates tender, airy pancakes with a slight golden crust, perfect for cozy mornings. Made from simple pantry staples, these pancakes are quick, easy, and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined (about 2 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous (about 2 minutes).
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Stop stirring once no large pockets of flour remain (1-2 minutes).
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Test readiness by flicking a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  5. Lightly grease the skillet with butter. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ladle, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate or oven set to 200°F (90°C) to keep warm while finishing the rest.
  8. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are good to keep pancakes tender. Use room temperature ingredients for better batter consistency. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help gluten relax and improve fluffiness. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges look set.
