🧂 Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but recommended)
👩🍳 How to Make Classic Fluffy Pancakes
1. Mix the dry ingredients
2. Combine the wet ingredients
In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Bring it all together
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk gently until combined.
A few small lumps are fine — overmixing will make your pancakes dense instead of fluffy.
4. Heat the pan
5. Cook the pancakes
Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve warm

- Warm apple slices with cinnamon
- A drizzle of peanut butter or Nutella
- Crushed nuts and honey for a sweet crunch
💡 Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Don’t overmix — a few lumps keep your pancakes tender.
- Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
- Use medium heat — too hot, and they’ll burn before cooking through.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F / 90°C) while you finish the batch.
