Fluffy Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar added)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Avoid overmixing for fluffier pancakes.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little melted butter to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts to the batter.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F/93°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
Enjoy your fluffy pancakes!
