Classic Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients (makes 8–10 medium pancakes)

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ tsp baking powder (helps them rise and get fluffy)
• 1 tbsp sugar (you can adjust to taste, or use honey/maple syrup in the batter)
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (room temperature)
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the pan)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but adds great flavor)

Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Baking powder
• Sugar
• Salt

This helps evenly distribute the leavening agent so the pancakes rise evenly.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl (or a large measuring jug), whisk together:

• Milk
• Egg
• Melted butter
• Vanilla extract

Make sure the milk and egg are at room temperature so the butter doesn’t solidify when mixed.

3. Combine Batter
