Fluffy Pancakes: The Secret Revealed
A classic recipe for perfectly fluffy pancakes, a breakfast staple that's easy to make and guaranteed to delight. These light and airy pancakes are ideal for a weekend treat.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 3.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1.25 cup milk
- 1 egg large
- 3 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter (or oil).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and will result in tender pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for even better results. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
